Maternity care in the UK

just found this interesting blog posting of an American woman's impression of maternity care in the UK. It doesn't sound so very different to what we have here really. Then you hear the other side of the story with this midwife who is feeling really weighed down and overworked. An interesting account here of a day in her working life. She also makes some inersting reflections on cost cutting in the NHS and the impact on her practice.
