[quote=Anonymous]Agreed - many of the most tragic cases do not involve a lack of intervention as the root cause. It often is an issue of no one listening to and closely watching the mother, and an over-reliance on test results to show danger signs, when tests can be wrong, or totally ineffective if no one in authority looks at them. I think the midwife culture of large amounts of time spent with mothers (at appts, in labor and after) and a focus on listening to the mother and taking her subjective experience seriously, is something OBs could really learn from. Midwives can screw up like anyone else, but they at least are starting from the viewpoint that the mother’s experience matters and that a healthy baby is not the only goal.[/quote]
