Wow here in NZ CTG is routinely carried out. Women (primip or multip) enter hospital and takenthrough to 'their room', on bed for admission CTG for 20 mins. Low or high risk, makes no diff. I mean what does the research say about admission CTG's?

I am a direct entry m/w and here in NZ we get to chose if we want to go into indy practice, either starting your own practice or entering a group alreayd established. You have a mentor that accompanies you to births for a certain cost until you feel confident that you can do a birth without any guidence so to speak. I am looking at indy practice mainly for the continuity of care that we provide. The partnership that is created between the family, woman and you is priceless.

There is too much politic in the hospital and the women do not get the care/support that they deserve. So I know where I am heading once I finish this degree
