A new article has been published in Rural and Remote Health:

''Mind you, there's no anaesthetist on the road': women's experiences of labouring en route'

Women in over 130 small Australian rural communities can no longer deliver their baby in their home town. Instead they face the hazards of many hours road travel to their planned birthing centre while in labour. This qualitative study shows the profound impact of this change on many.
