Issue 39
Autumn 1996
Theme: Multiple Births
Pregnancy with twins—or more!—doesn’t mean a woman has to have a hospital birth. Numerous stories by midwives and mothers in Issue 39 tell you why. Henci Goer, author of two books on medical interventions in birth, takes a critical look at ultrasound and finds it coming up seriously short. Molar pregnancy, waterbirth and postpartum streptococcus are some of the other topics this issue covers.
