Dear Carol, they are coming at it from a different angle.
This is the country that gives mothers liberal paid time off after
childbirth.
They value breastfeeding.
They value babies and children.
The bottom line (and getting baby out of hospital ASAP) is not driving
their care.
Gives it a whole different spin.  Sincerely, Pat in SNJ

And yet I do believe in Sweden almost everybody gets an epidural during
childbirth and there are lots of forceps and vacuum deliveries and a
high-C-section rate.
