Abstract
Several bodies have advocated possible improvements, including smaller “packages” of antenatal care (in which each visit has an explicit clinical purpose) and different mixes of contribution by general practitioners, midwives, and obstetricians. Obstetricians disagree as to whether they should, or should not, be involved in the antenatal care of healthy women with normal pregnancies.2 3Keywords
