Dear List Administrators,
 
Thanks for the useful communications... the trouble is that I want to recommend this list to other researchers who I believe will benefit considerably... however, I can't remember how I "signed up"...
 
Was it an email to this address?  Maybe a little reminder everynow and then around the list, could be a useful way to remind us... so we can "expand our horizons"
 
Thanks,
Penny

	Nicole, there is an interesting paper by K. Barker (1998) documenting the
	emergence of prenatal care in the USA, in the context of the medicalisation
	of pregnancy.
	The reference is:
	Barker, K 'A ship on a stormy sea: the medicalisation of pregnancy' Social
	Science and Medicine, Vol 47, no 8 pp1067-1076, 1998
