Consumer Reports on Maternity Care

Here is a link to an article that Consumer Reports did about the state of maternity care. Anyone want to guess what they found? Overuse of high-tech interventions and not enough use of low-tech things like midwives and such. Are you surprised? The average woman in the u.s. does more research to buy a car than to have a baby.

Here is a link to a quiz about maternity care which you can take and then follow up by reading the article.
