22.01.2022 WOMEN are less likely to need an epidural, forceps or ventouse delivery if midwives lead their care, research shows. They are also less likely to experience premature birth, compared to other types of care, including that led by GPs or consultants. Experts analysed data involving 16,242 women from 13 studies carried out in Australia, Britain, Canada, Ireland and New Zealand.... Their findings confirm previous research that midwife-led care results in fewer interventions for women. The team found women were 13 per cent less likely to need an epidural, 16 per cent less likely to need an episiotomy (surgical incision to reduce the risk of a tear) and 12 per cent less likely to need a forceps or ventouse delivery if midwives oversaw the birth. http://www.theaustralian.com.au//story-e6frgcjx-1226701149
