22.01.2022 Dr Joce Toohill says, "The rate of induction of labour for women giving birth for the first time increased from 30-45.6% of births. Surely enough is enough, women deserve to know why and how they can avoid interventions where they are not warranted."

20.01.2022 We are amid a "caesarean epidemic" with an increasing number performed dangerously early and without a medical indication. Women are not to blame and should not feel ashamed. Maternity health professionals are responsible for addressing the problem through system-wide reform, and application of evidence-based approaches.
