Are we overdoing pregnancy care?

For the last 10 years, Michel Odent has been publishing his excellent “Primal Health Research Newsletter”. It comes out quarterly, and each issue explores an aspect of pregnancy and birth care that has implications for the future health of babies and mothers.

The latest issue, Volume 10, No. 3 examines the advisability of routine pregnancy care for the majority of women and comments on the many studies and randomised controlled trials that have proven that routine ultrasound scans, haemoglobin testing, glucose tolerance tests and even the taking of blood pressure do nothing to improve the outcome of the pregnancy. As always, Michel raises interesting questions and propositions, and in this newsletter he suggests that the emphasis should be on preconception care rather than pregnancy care. The references that back up his assertions are included and will be useful for students and midwives interesting in providing more cost effective and beneficial pregnancy programs for women.

You can obtain the newsletter by emailing Michel Odent at Modent@aol.com. The research papers can be found on the Birthworks website, where all the data accumulated by the Primal Health Research Centre can be located.
