Dear list,
I'm really enjoying this discussion, so many interesting thoughts are coming
out of it. Ans, I have heard many colleagues working on delivery suite
express this idea of the modern woman not wanting to "let go" or "loose
control". In my research regarding breastfeeding I have also found some
evidence of a reluctance to "give in" to the demands of breastfeeding. I
think that Else's research idea is very exciting. One way ahead for
midwifery researchers could be in the collaboration with researchers from
other fields and specialities. I think it's very important that we as
midwives don't sew ourselves into a corner where we see midwifery practice
as divorced from the rest of life. We definitely could benifit from looking
at the big picture. Keep up the good work everyone.
