Issue 42
Summer 1997
Theme: Autonomy
Autonomy and relatedness are not exclusive of each other, Marion Toepke McLean, CNM, maintains in her ongoing column, “Marion’s Message.” Several articles in Issue 42 support that theory while they explore why and how midwives and families can achieve autonomy in regard to birth and the practice of midwifery. An update on group B streptococcus, articles on shoulder dystocia and breech homebirth, and a remarkably thorough look at breast yeast are just some of the topics that round out this issue.
