Excellent article et la vidéo..ça dit tout! The widespread hospitalisation of birth is largely thanks to everybody being extremely chuffed at the shiny new NHS hospitals of 1948 and the gradual move to get women into labour wards until the publication of the 1970 Peel Report which stated we think that sufficient facilities should be provided to allow for 100 per cent hospital delivery. This move resulted in what Professor Wendy Savage, a gynaecologist and women’s birth rights campaigner, has called the biggest unevaluated medical experiment in the world. As Beverley Beech who runs AIMS (Association for Improvement in Maternity Services) says: “No-one asked the women if they wanted to birth in hospital and no evidence was produced that this would improve care and reduce infant and maternal mortality.”
