=====================================================I copied this from the homepage of the United Kingdom's Association of Radical Midwives lest you think that they are radical outside the field of midwifery. Their address is: http://www.radmid.demon.co.uk/
Warmest Regards, Angela Cross cohosh@softhome.net
WHY "RADICAL"?
In the mid 70s, induction of labour by A.R.M. (Artificial Rupture of Membranes) on the "due" date was almost routine everywhere. These initials were used when the group needed a name, using the dictionary definition of "radical", i.e. roots, origins, basics, etc., which
illustrated the basic midwifery skills which they hoped to revive. The word "radical"has been the subject of periodical debates within the Association, some members being concerned that midwives who support the aims of the Association are being discouraged from joining due to the political implications of the word. However, as midwives are increasingly realising that it is no bad thing to become politically aware in the face of threats to the professional autonomy of midwifery, these concerns are less urgent today.====================================================

Here is a web site for an OB-gyn journal online. They have some interesting articles you can read and download and some you must be a subscriber to see. I especially liked the one on PROM which said that as long as everything was normal for mom and baby you could let them go for 48 hours. I think I will mail that one to some of the docs around here!

Subject: new list for family doctors doing maternity care
To: midwife@fensende.com
I'm forwarding information on a new list I'm running for family doctors doing and teaching maternity care. I know there are a few other family docs who participate on this list. Unfortunately, like earlier versions of this list, there is no digest option, so we'll try to be careful.
FAMDEL, or FAMILY DOCTORS DELIVER, is an E-mail list for members of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine Group on Family Centered Perinatal Care. It is directed at group members, and others teaching and providing pregnancy care in Family Medicine. The purpose of the list is to provide a forum for discussing issues related to pregnancy care in family medicine education, establishing cooperative projects and research, and facilitating communication between group members. The list is open to all who are interested. Differences of opinion are expected and respected.
To Subscribe to the FAMDEL list, send an email message:
To: mailserv@asri.edu
Subject: (leave blank)
Message Text: subscribe FAMDEL (your full name)
For further information about the FAMDEL list, please send email to:
