Best Evidence
Extensive archive ~ a "must read", with primary sources, lengthy excerpts, links to primary sources, and citation lists documenting the scientific basis for physiological childbirth as the universal standard of care for healthy women with normal pregnancies. Also journal articles on interventive and operative obstetrics >> induction, elective C-sections and political controversies, including ACOG's effort to eliminate planned home birth.
Other "Best Evidence" topics (1) community-based midwifery, and (2) political and historical forces that have inappropriately medicalized normal childbirth in the US and which underlie the push by organized medicine to declare elective Cesarean surgery the new, 21st century standard of care for in a healthy population. The BEST EVIDENCE subdirectory contains links to the most important articles on the College of Midwives web site.
