Midwifery in Mexico is almost non existing as a profession. Only a few
of us in the whole coutry; and many traditional-empirical midwives but,
as you may guess, no research is done along that line.
Research on normal birth may be carried out only by obstetricians; more
on medications used and other technical procedures, but not on
physiology.
I am about to carry a qualitative retrospective survey from the
Phenomenology perspective on home births but its very few we have.
So I'm afraid I will only stand in this list, more as an observer, not
so much as a participant.
Thank you all.
Laura Cao Romero, midwife.

Dear Soo, Is this the network set up at the October conference? I would
like
to join if poss. I am getting ready to conduct a piece of research for a
dissertation (MSc Health Sciences - Univ. East Anglia) I would welcome
participating/contributing in the proposed network since I intend to
investigate an aspect of birth which has the potential to inform
knowledge
of physiology (I don't know what , yet!)
Regards
Deborah Caine RM
