high rates of overdiagnosis («false positive» results) or they too often miss the danger altogether («false negatives»).
We have previously described studies of pacing strategy using various experimental
interventions, including faster and slower starts,
higher temperatures, hypoxia, hyperoxia and altered energy substrate availability.1 We have proposed the presence of a complex, regulatory system that mediates changes to skeletal muscle motor unit activation and work

Flint and colleagues suggested that when midwives get to know the women for whom they provide care,
interventions are minimised.22 The Albany midwifery practice, with an unselected population, has a
rate for normal vaginal births of 77 %, with 35 % of women having a home birth.23 A review of care for women at low risk of complications has shown that continuity of midwifery care is generally associated with lower
intervention rates than standard maternity care.24 Variation in normal birth
rates between services (62 % -80 %), however, seems to be greater than outcome differences between «
high continuity» and «traditional care» groups at the same unit.25 26 27 Use of epidural analgesia, for example, varies widely between Queen Charlotte's Hospital, London, and the North Staffordshire NHS Trust.

interventions, serious complications including birth trauma for you and your baby, and having the birth of your dreams.
Our current maternity care system's disconnected and medical treatment of birth is what's causing the need for more medical and surgical
intervention and emergency situations in the first place; it leads into a cascade of further
interventions and more serious problems like the
high rates of maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality that plague the United States.
Simply saying «we have
higher rates of
interventions and
higher rates of maternal mortality therefore X = Y» is incorrect.
You are trading a lower

This also exemplifies why we can't simply blame the relative
high US maternal mortality
rate on the cesarean
rate, or the
rate of obstetric
interventions.
It is also possible that the unique health care system found in the United States — and particularly the lack of integration across birth settings, combined with elevated
rates of obstetric
intervention — contributes to intrapartum mortality due to delays in timely transfer related to fear of reprisal and / or because some women with
higher - risk pregnancies still choose home birth because there are fewer options that support normal physiologic birth available in their local hospitals.
> Low - risk women in this sample experienced
high rates of normal physiologic birth and very low
rates of operative birth and
interventions, with no concomitant increase in adverse events
Out - of - hospital births were also associated with a
higher rate of unassisted vaginal delivery and lower
rates of obstetrical
interventions and NICU admission than in - hospital births, findings that corroborate the results of earlier studies.3 - 5 These associations follow logically from the more conservative approach to
intervention that characterizes the midwifery model of care8, 19 and from the fact that obstetrical
interventions are either rare (e.g., induction of labor) 20 or unavailable (e.g., cesarean delivery, whether at home or at a birth center) outside the hospital setting.
Several factors may have also improved results for women practising exclusive breastfeeding, such as
interventions delivered with a face - to - face component,
high background initiation
rates of breastfeeding, lay support, and a specific schedule of four to eight contacts.
Rates of obstetrical
intervention are
high in U.S. hospitals, and we found large absolute differences in the risks of these
interventions between planned out - of - hospital births and in - hospital births.38 In contrast, serious adverse fetal and neonatal outcomes are infrequent in all the birth settings we assessed, and the absolute differences in risk that we observed between planned birth locations were correspondingly small; for example, planned out - of - hospital births were associated with an excess of less than 1 fetal death per 1000 deliveries in multivariate and propensity - score - adjusted analyses.
Despite the widened socioeconomic inequalities by the
intervention in
rates of prolonged exclusive and any breastfeeding, breastfeeding
rates were even
higher among mothers with the lowest education (secondary school or less) in the
intervention group than they were among mothers who completed university in the control group.
Although not directly comparable, our findings are in broad agreement with those from routine data in Scotland that have indicated a positive association between Baby Friendly accreditation, but not certification, and breastfeeding at 1 week of age.17 Our findings reinforce those of Coutinho and colleagues who reported that
high exclusive breastfeeding
rates achieved in Brazilian hospitals implementing staff training with the course content of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative were short - lived and not sustained at home unless implemented in combination with post-natal home visits.35 Similarly in Italy, training of staff with an adapted version of the Baby Friendly course content resulted in
high breastfeeding
rates at discharge, with a rapid decrease in the days after leaving hospital.36 In contrast, a cluster randomized trial in Belarus (PROBIT) found an association between an
intervention modelled on the Baby Friendly Initiative with an increased duration of breastfeeding37 an association also reported from an observational study in Germany.38 Mothers in Belarus stay in hospital post-partum for 6 — 7 days, and in Germany for 5 days, with post-natal support likely to be particularly important in countries where mothers stay in the hospital for a shorter time, with early discharge likely to limit the influence of a hospital - based
intervention.
Results indicated that
intervention delivery in combination of settings seemed to have
higher improvements in breastfeeding
rates.
As the breastfeeding

Participating children had
higher rates of
high - school completion, lower
rates of grade retention and special education placement, and a lower
rate of juvenile arrests.32 Another example showing more intensive programming has larger impacts is the Healthy Steps evaluation showing significantly better child language outcomes when the program was initiated prenatally through 24 months.33 These studies suggest that a more intensive
intervention involving the child directly may be required for larger effects to be seen.

If we are experiencing a
high rate of complication that creates an unsafe situation then we would be best off to address the overall health of our population rather than to assume that
interventions at the end of pregnancy are the best course of action.
First of all, your last sentence was brilliant: «If we are experiencing a
high rate of complication that creates an unsafe situation then we would be best off to address the overall health of our population rather than to assume that
interventions at the end of pregnancy are the best course of action.»
They go on to say «Low - risk women in this cohort experienced
high rates of physiologic birth and low
rates of
intervention without an increase in adverse outcomes» which is a lie.

higher than midwives in hospitals because they do too many
interventions?!
In the study by Merewood et al. (27), the
rate of any breastfeeding at 12 wk PP was considerably
higher in the
intervention group than in controls (OR: 2.81, 95 % CI: 1.11 — 7.14; P = 0.03).
But other industrialized countries also have
high c - section
rates, as well as successful medical
interventions that are helping women with pre-existing conditions get pregnant.
The
intervention tested by Bonuck et al. (31) yielded impressive results with significantly
higher rates of any breastfeeding through 20 wk PP, with the exception of week 18 (53 vs. 39 %, P < 0.05) and greater breastfeeding intensity (defined as more than half of feedings derived from breast milk in this study) through 9 wk (46 vs. 33 %, P < 0.05) in the
intervention (vs. control) group.
