If you follow the link below you can read an article about the over-medicalisation of childbirth. http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/arts/story.html?id=428f0c90-dc95-4ecc-b95f-89e962a5a9e8&p=1 The author, Payne (no pun intended), tells how we have moved from the recent (of about 30 years) 'natural birth' movement to go back to the days of medicalised birth without a question as to the safety or necessity of such a shift in direction. It seems, that whatever is the trend at the moment people will follow without looking into the whys and wherefores themselves. She touches on the fear associated with childbirth. We may wonder why childbirth is accompanied by so much fear, but we don't have to look very far. Is it any wonder women are scared when the whole process goes far beyond what a normal birth should encompass. Just my two cents worth. Let me know what you think. Love Amanda
