An English midwife in Arkansas Part 3--differences in practice
Abstract:
In the final instalment of this three part series detailing my experiences as an English midwife receiving maternity care in America, this article discusses specific differences in practice between the UK and America from the perspective of a midwife. Here I focus on the implications of an approach to care that views pregnancy and birth as a condition to be managed rather than a physiological process, with care that focuses on pre emptive measures. I also consider the role of the midwife with regards to scope of practice and the benefits of this.
