Rachel, that link was more than interesting!  What a privilege to be able to view photo's of your grandchild's beautiful birth.  I am so sorry that the birth center is closing.  A tremendous loss for Oslo.  I am also happy to see birth shown in the media without the need to cover up nipples ect.  I know, in Scandinavia that is normal but in N America, definitely a no no.
