The implementation of integrated care that encompasses the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of women's health may help to alleviate the burden that maternal complications impose on millions of women around the world.

Confident Commitment Is a Key Factor for Sustained BreastfeedingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Contrary to popular conceptions, breastfeeding appears to be a learned skill. If mothers achieved a level of "confident commitment" before the birth, they were able to withstand lack of support by significant others and common challenges that occurred as they initiated breastfeeding. Without the element of "confident commitment," a decision to breastfeed appeared to fall apart once challenged. (Source: Birth)

Preventive Labor Induction-AMOR-IPAT: Much Promise, Not Yet RealizedEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
ABSTRACT: "Preventive Labor Induction-AMOR-IPAT" is a method designed to time induction before the fetus becomes too large or the placenta dysfunctional. In two retrospective cohort studies and one randomized trial, the developers claim to have reduced cesarean section rates and improved newborn outcomes. These claims have yet to be substantiated in an adequately powered trial, but having decided on the need for an induction, the investigators do manage inductions in a woman-centered and intimate style that has merit.

Abstract: Two consumer representatives were participants in the development of their state government's Policy for Planned Birth At Home in South Australia.
