hello
caesarean section birth is so high in Jordan, we have in one teaching university hospital the rate approximately 60%, we need to work on this but i am the only midwife who care about this issue, really i would like to work on this but i need support from any one willing to help in terms of carrying out researches and developing guidelines for the safety of women and their babies.

Elaine,
Closer to home, Shrewsbury & Telford Hospitals Trust also have a well-documented 15% section rate.

and a long standing system of freestanding midwifery units <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B8CY0-4W034G8-2&_user=126524&_coverDate=06%2F30%2F2009&_rdoc=1&_fmt=high&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_searchStrId=1244375137&_rerunOrigin=google&_acct=C000010360&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=126524&md5=a88307b3a71378f3f21c50e79e32d782> .
I can send you a pdf of that paper if you don't have access to it.
