Interesting indeed x

The program is online to listen to and Radio 4 have kindly edited just the birthy bits so you dont need to listen to the whole program! Each one is only 6-12 min long and there are 3/4 I think. WELL worth a listen.

Ladies, if you are intrested in this as I was, then you might like to listen to bbc4's women's hour special on Maternity Matters.

There are some facinating insites into how midwives feel about the sevices on offer to women.
