    as much--non-CNMs mwiedfiry organizations don't help because they help perpetuate the image of undertrained, woo-besotted midwives.I agree wholeheartedly that the Lancet editorial was out of line in its whole-cloth judgement of women who choose homebirth. Moreover, the ACOG statement is homebirth is also a horror--unprofessional, condescending and inflammatory.BTW--the Netherlands isn't exactly a birth nirvana. Their perinatal outcomes are actually worse than ours, and have been getting worse, for reasons that are not yet clear. Moreover, many women who want epidural anesthesia are unable to get it.I have my own ideas on how we could create a "birth nirvana" here in the US, but I've already gone on far too long...

    The "nirvana" cmnmeot was a bit of tongue in cheek, of course. From what I understand, Denmark is a bit of one.You are correct about the spectrum of midwives, one of the things I observed can go wrong in US studies with the inclusion of just any old type of midwife. But I feel that if midwifery were more institutionalized and accepted, the overall caliber among the profession would be lifted, as well. My midwives have all been CNMs and have all had OB backup, and I think that's a good balance.I think unprofessional, condescending, and inflammatory are a few factors that send women looking for other options across the spectrum of reproductive care.I'd love to read your ideas. I'm sure they're rational and practical.I'm very aware of the woo and the wooest in homebirthy circles. That's what I consider to be one end of the spectrum, with unassisted homebirth being at that very edge.

    Of csuore, none of my ideas are original or radical; they have to do with creating a single, high educational and practice standard for midwifery; clear criteria for homebirth & transfer protocols, independence from onerous oversight provisions, possibly expanding use of the CM credential, and the ever-popular tort reform.I think you're spot-on about some of the factors that send women to alternative--sometimes suboptimal--care providers.The ACOG statement pissed me off; not because I disagreed with the gist of it, but because it presumed some extremely condescending things about women who consider homebirth. I used to help write statements like that for another medical society, and I was absolutely gobsmacked by the unprofessional, sneering tone of the statement.
