From standpoints of: rationale, safety, infection control, statistical data, etc. 1 UI - 87084849 AU - Simmons MD ; Cockcroft PM ; Okubadejo OA TI - Neonatal listeriosis due to cross-infection in an obstetric theatre. AB - Two cases of neonatal listeriosis following Caesarean section are reported. Evidence is presented which suggests that cross-infection took place in the obstetric operating theatre. The first case shows the features of early-onset disease while the second illustrates the late-onset pattern. Listeria monocytogenes was isolated also from the mother of the first baby. The two neonatal disease patterns are discussed.

AB - Hospital alternative birth centers (ABCs) were established in response to consumer demands for 'family-centered maternity care'. This paper considers the controversy among advocates of different childbirth alternatives, including ABCs, home birth and conventional hospital birth. The expectations and evaluations of a sample of women who chose ABC births are compared to attitudes towards the ABC of women who selected home births or conventional hospital births. Women who choose the ABC and those who select home birth share some critical views of conventional labor and delivery, but not the same overall ideology of childbirth. Women who choose the ABC and women who choose conventional labor and delivery share beliefs in the authority of hospital obstetrics and the expertise of physicians.
