Here is below paper in pdf.

 

 

 

1.       Source of excitement

Got it I think : 1 fatal legionellosis (attach)

2.       Thanks and possibly one more request (?)

Thanks to all who are being really helpful.

There is one more thing I would love to have, there is an EPUB ahead of print paper coming out in Archives:

Neonatal outcomes of waterbirth: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Taylor H, Kleine I, Bewley S, Loucaides E, Sutcliffe A.

Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. 2016 Apr 28. pii: fetalneonatal-2015-309600. doi: 10.1136/archdischild-2015-309600. [Epub ahead of print]

Can’t access it, so if someone has it that would be great.

3.       Possible cause for such a strong parliamentary position

Also, mild paranoia maybe, but there is a hospital in Ostend who does a lot, and I was wondering whether they was not something fishy about this sudden excitement ?

 

 

 

Dear Sophie

You are correct and evidence summarized in NICE intrapartum guidelines. But there may be new publications since then as you say.

Regards

Jane

 

 

Sophie, your understanding is correct – in general the evidence from a range of settings is that waterbirth is beneficial. Indeed, there is much better evidence for the benefits of waterbirth than there is for hospitalisation for all healthy women and babies, or for obstetric led care for such women and babies  (both of which are NOT recommended based on good quality evidence) so it would be better for ONE to investigate the benefits of birth centre/home birth or the lower rates of prematurity with continuity of midwife led care than to react to one study from the US on waterbirth!

 

  Ethel, can you send your latest data on waterbirth to Sophie?

 

All the best

 

Soo

 

 

Dear list colleagues,

One of the things I do, is serve as “counselor” for ONE our Belgian French speaking agency for maternal and child welfare.

This entails, among other things answering parliamentary questions (that is questions that any citizen may ask the parliament). 

 

Maybe you can help me for a new one on water births, as I have a vague feeling that this topic has been discussed recently on the list (?).  The document says that there has been a new American publication highlighting the risks of waterbirths.  And in addition a demand that ONE should, elaborate to inform women about the risks.

 

I will be looking at PUBmed, and looking for said US paper, but my globalopinion was that there is good evidence that laboring in water is helpful, and not much evidence – in one direction or the other – about under water second stage.

 

So if you have got a ready made review to send on, I would be truly grateful.

 

 

 

Madame, Monsieur,

 

Avez-vous des éléments de réponse qui nous aideraient à répondre à cette question parlementaire ?

Nous devons y répondre pour ce vendredi .

Bien cordialement à vous.
