Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing where to give birth
What are my options regarding where to give birth?
Most women have the choice of giving birth in a hospital labour ward, at home or in a midwife-led birth centre - either on the same hospital site as the labour ward, or a different site in a community hospital or purpose-built building. Watch our video below to find out more about the different types of birth centre or read more about the different settings in which you can give birth.
What do I need to look out for on a tour of a maternity unit?
Whether you're visiting a maternity unit in person or watching a virtual tour online, you can check out our list of questions to find out what you need to know about the maternity unit you're interested in.
How do I know if my local maternity unit is good?
Finding the best maternity unit in which to give birth will depend on a combination of factors, including the type of birth you want. You can use our unique Birth Choice tool to find local maternity units which best fit your needs. You can then look in detail at the facilities, policies and personalised birth statistics there using our individual unit pages, or compare several units at a time.
Our unit pages also give you an idea of women's experiences of giving birth there, with reviews from Care Opinion, and for England, scores from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) survey of women's experiences of maternity care. Get started now with our Birth Choice tool.
I had a really bad birth experience last time. How can I make sure it doesn't happen again?
There are a number of reasons why you might consider your last birth experience one that you don't want to repeat. Some women feel they had insufficient pain relief; some feel that they had interventions which they hadn't wanted and would like to avoid this time; and others feel that they suffered a loss of control or weren't listened to, or were even treated insensitively during the birth.
You may find it helpful to discuss your previous birth with a health professional or childbirth educator. You can ask the hospital for a copy of your notes which may help to understand what happened. Some maternity units offer a "Birth Afterthoughts" or debriefing service with senior midwives or counsellors who can help you understand more about any prior birth experiences and help you come to terms with these. Find out more about what to do if you didn't receive the care you expected.
Your choices for your next birth will depend on what you're hoping to change. You may wish to ask to have a planned caesarean, in which case your reasons will be discussed with you and you'll be supported with any feelings of anxiety resulting from your last birth. Find out more about asking to have a planned caesarean.
You may wish to avoid any interventions as far as possible, in which case you might plan to give birth in a birth centre or at home where interventions are less likely. This may be more difficult to arrange if you have an increased risk of complications. Find out more about negotiating your care if you are at increased risk of complications.
You may also feel more comfortable labouring with a midwife you've got to know and trust during your pregnancy. Find out more about knowing your midwife.
Coping with pain in labour
What are my pain relief options?
These will depend partly on where you choose to give birth.
What pain relief can I have at home?
While you're labouring at home, you can use self-help methods of coping with pain, such as massage, gentle movement, relaxed breathing or self-hypnosis. If you've planned a home birth, you can hire a birth pool so you can use water to cope with any pain, and your midwife will provide you with gas and air (entonox). She may be able to administer pethidine or a similar opioid depending on the policy in your local area. You won't be able to have an epidural unless you transfer to hospital.

What pain relief can I have at a birth centre?
You can use self-help methods of coping with pain, such as massage, gentle movement, relaxed breathing or self-hypnosis. Many birth centres have birth pools so you can use water to cope with any pain, and gas and air (entonox) will be available. Some birth centres have pethidine or a similar opioid available. You won't be able to have an epidural unless you transfer to the labour ward.
Find out about options for coping with pain in different settings
What is hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a birth education programme for pregnant women which teaches self-hypnosis, relaxation and breathing techniques for labour and birth. There are other types of self-hypnosis courses, such as Natal Hypnotherapy. These types of course generally focus on reducing fear and increasing confidence, providing women and their partners with techniques to work with their bodies during labour.
There's currently insufficient research evidence to say whether self-hypnosis is helpful or not. However, anecdotal evidence (eg women's testimonials) suggests that self-hypnosis is effective in reducing the need for pain medication, increasing confidence and helping women remain calm and in control.
Water in labour
What's a birth pool?
This is a wide, deep bath or pool filled with clean, warm water that can be used to cope with pain during labour or as a place to give birth (water birth). Birth pools are deep enough for a women to be immersed above her abdomen when kneeling. They can be permanently plumbed-in (for example, as in a birth centre) or portable for a home birth.
Find out more about using water in labour or having a water birth
Where do I get a birth pool from?
There are many companies which hire out birth pools, together with all the necessary equipment and instructions for their use. Some companies will sell you an inflatable birth pool. There are many different types of pool in varying price ranges. The most expensive come with filters to keep the water clean, and heaters to keep the water at the right temperature.
You'll need to check that your floor is strong enough to take a filled pool's weight, and that you have the means to fill it with enough water to cover your abdomen.
Update July 2014: Public Health England is currently advising people not to use heated birth pools that are filled before labour begins and where the temperature is maintained by a heater and a pump. This advice applies to these particular birth pools only. The majority of birthing pools rented for use at home are filled from domestic hot water at the time of labour and there's no concern about these pools or indeed pools used in NHS birth centres and maternity units.
Will I definitely get to use a birth pool if I want to?
You're not usually able to book a birth pool in a labour ward or birth centre in advance of your labour. If you think you'll want to use a pool, let your midwife know so this can be written in your notes. You should also mention it when you arrive at the hospital in labour.
Booking at a maternity unit with a larger number of pools may make it more likely that there'll be one available. Some birth centres have a pool in every birthing room.
If there are any complications in your pregnancy or labour then your midwife or doctor may recommend that you do not use a pool in labour.
NHS maternity care
What's the difference between midwife-led care and consultant-led care?
Midwife-led care is when midwives (not doctors) are responsible for all of your maternity care. This is ideal if you're healthy and your pregnancy is straightforward. In some hospitals doctors called obstetricians take responsibility for your care and you see a consultant (senior doctor) for some of your antenatal appointments. This is usually only the case if you have some risk of complications and need extra medical care. Women having consultant-led care will usually give birth in a labour ward, but women having midwife-led care may give birth in a labour ward, birth centre or at home.
Can I choose which midwife I have in labour?
It's unlikely that you'll be able to choose the midwife you have in labour. If you know a midwife who's working when you're in labour you may be able to request that she looks after you, but there's no obligation for this to happen.
Some maternity services try to provide continuity of care by creating small teams of midwives who are responsible for all of your care, but this is currently the exception rather than the rule. If this is important to you, you should try to find out if you can be looked after in this way in your local service. You're more likely to get continuity of care if you live in the catchment area of the hospital where you book your care. This information is available on our individual maternity unit pages.
If you don't like the midwife who is looking after you in labour you can request a different one - get your birth partner to speak to the midwife in charge of the labour ward.
Will I have a midwife with me all the time in labour?
Most hospitals aim to have one midwife looking after each woman in established (strong) labour, and this is the gold standard for care in labour. This midwife may not be with you in the room the whole time, however, if you're happy and confident to be left alone with your partner for short periods of time. If your labour is long, the midwife may hand over your care to another midwife at the end of their shift.
If the maternity unit is very busy, or there are staff shortages, your midwife may be looking after one or more other women at the same time. Maternity units may close their doors to newly arriving women in these circumstances to ensure safe standards of care.
Paying for care
I've heard our local unit has private rooms. What does that mean?
Usually this will mean that the hospital has single rooms which can provide extra privacy once you've had your baby. There's normally a nightly fee for using the room, although sometimes women with a clinical need (for example after a complicated birth) may be accommodated in a single room for no charge.
The charge is only for the room, and postnatal care is provided free by the NHS. Sometimes partners are allowed to stay overnight in the room, too.
Some hospitals have private (non-NHS) care and have private rooms available for women who have chosen to pay for this type of maternity care. Usually women having NHS care aren't able to pay to stay in these rooms.
What is a doula?
A doula is a person experienced in giving emotional and practical support to women in labour who can act as a birth partner. Doulas can also provide support while you're pregnant and after your baby is born.
To find out more about hiring a doula visit Doula UK.
In the London boroughs of Newham and Tower Hamlets the Maternity Mates project provides voluntary support to women who do not have a suitable support network or have specific needs or health issues. Visit the Women's Health & Family Services website to find out more.
What is an independent midwife?
This is a fully qualified, self-employed midwife who can provide private midwifery care. Private midwives, including independent midwives, generally offer care from a single midwife or a pair of midwives throughout your pregnancy. You have to pay for this care.
Are independent midwives insured?
Since July 2014 it's a legal requirement for midwives to hold appropriate professional insurance. Independent midwives who are self-employed can now access this Professional Indemnity Insurance through the Independent Midwives UK (IMUK) insurance scheme or through a commercial insurance provider. This means that if your baby suffers an adverse outcome which is proved to be due to your midwife's negligence you can make a claim through the midwife's insurance. Remember that no compensation is payable where the adverse outcome was unavoidable and not related to negligent care, wherever you have your baby and whoever provides your care.
All independent midwives offering maternity care should now be fully insured. If you want to engage the services of an independent midwife you can check with them what cover their insurance provides. Private midwives who are employed by a company or organisation should also be fully insured. Find out more about private midwives.
Is 'going private' the same as having independent midwives?
Most women in the UK have NHS maternity care, which is available free of charge. There are a number of different private maternity care options which can include hiring the services of a independent midwife or paying for a private obstetrician.
What is the difference between giving birth privately as opposed to NHS care?
NHS maternity care is free for people who are resident in the UK, whereas you have to pay for private maternity care.
Find out more about the differences between NHS and private maternity care.
Booking your maternity care
I'm booked into one hospital but would now prefer to go to another one. Can I change my mind?
It should not usually be a problem to change where you're booked to give birth as Cathy Warwick from the Royal College of Midwives explains in a video in our article on booking maternity care. However the hospital you plan to change to may have a strict catchment area so you should check that you live in that area and that the new hospital is prepared to accept your booking.
To change your booking you can go via your GP to get them to refer you, or you can contact the new unit to ask for an appointment.
What happens if the unit is full when I go into labour?
It's best to phone up your maternity unit before you arrive there in labour. This gives the midwives a chance to assess how far on in labour you are and whether they're able to admit you to the labour ward.
Occasionally the maternity unit may not be able to accept you once you're in established labour - either because they're full or because they don't have enough staff on duty. If this is the case, you'll be told which is the nearest maternity unit which will accept you. Because this is unsettling, it's best to find out in advance the likelihood of this happening (particularly if the unit has a history of closing) so that you can be prepared for an alternative journey and place of birth. If the unit has a history of closure, this information will be shown on our individual unit pages.
I think I'd like a home birth but am not sure. What happens if I change my mind?
If you think you would like to have a home birth, then there should be no problem with making your intention known to your midwife and planning accordingly. If at any time you change your mind, you can let them know and they can change your booking. It's even possible to change your mind when you're in labour - you can decide at any time that you would prefer to be in the hospital and you can transfer there. Be aware that, in some cases, transferring to give birth in hospital may mean that you're looked after by different midwives to those who care for women having home births.
In some areas of the country, a final decision about where to have your baby is not made until you're actually in labour, and the midwives stay with you wherever you choose to give birth.
Safety and interventions
Why might I be induced?
Women are most commonly induced because they haven't gone into labour when expected. Most women will go into labour by 42 weeks gestation, and guidelines recommend that women are offered induction between 41 and 42 weeks. Women can choose not to be induced, however, and are offered extra monitoring from 42 weeks.
Women may also be offered induction for other reasons, such as if their waters break but they don't go into labour within 24 hours, or if there's a risk to themselves or the baby if pregnancy continues.
What's the difference between forceps and ventouse?
Forceps are a surgical instrument which comes in two halves. Each half is carefully put round the baby's head while it's in the birth canal, and the two handles fit together. The doctor pulls at the same time as you push with a contraction.
A ventouse is a silicone cap attached to a suction pump. The cap is fitted on the baby's head while it's in the birth canal, and is kept in place using suction. The ventouse is then pulled, as for the forceps delivery, to help the baby be born.
What is an episiotomy?
An episiotomy is a surgical cut sometimes made just before the baby is born, to widen the opening and allow the baby to be born more quickly. This will be repaired under local anaesthetic following the birth, using stitches.
Where is the safest place to give birth?
The safest place for you and your baby will depend on a number of factors, including whether it's your first baby or not, whether you have any conditions which could increase your risk of complications arising during the birth, and what 'safest' means for you.
Women at increased risk of complications are likely to be recommended to give birth in a labour ward, where doctors are on hand should medical help be needed. However, some women feel that this is not the right place, and wish to give birth with skilled help in a different birth setting. Find out more about negotiating your care if you are at increased risk of complications.
If you have a low risk of complications, you're less likely to have medical interventions if you plan to give birth in an environment other than a labour ward. For women having a first baby, a birth planned in a birth centre is as safe for your baby as a planned hospital birth. For women having a second or subsequent baby, a birth planned at home or in a birth centre is as safe for your baby as a planned hospital birth. Find out more about safety and intervention rates in different birth environments.
Women at increased risk of complications
Which conditions increase the risk of birth complications?
According to national guidelines for England there are a number of factors which could increase your risk of complications during labour and birth.
Find out which conditions increase the risk of complications
Can I have a home birth if I am at increased risk of complications?
If you're at increased risk of complications it's likely that your health professionals will recommend you give birth in a labour ward. If you feel strongly that this isn't the right place for you, Find out more about negotiating your care.
What is a breech birth?
A breech birth is one where the baby is not in the usual 'head-down' position, but instead has its head uppermost in the womb. The part of the baby born first in a breech birth is usually the bottom, although on rare occasions, one or both feet can be born first.
If your baby is breech towards the end of pregnancy, you may be offered an ECV (external cephalic version) where a doctor will try to turn your baby from outside the womb. If your baby remains in the breech position, current guidelines recommend that you are offered a caesarean birth. Some women with a breech baby prefer to birth their baby normally, although it may not be easy to find a midwife who is skilled in delivering breech babies.
Find out more about negotiating your care if you are considered to be at increased risk of complications (e.g. if your baby is breech).
I'm expecting twins. What are my options for giving birth?
If you're carrying twins, it will be recommended that you give birth in hospital due to additional risks giving birth to twins. These risks are greater for identical twins sharing a placenta. In particular, twins tend to be born prematurely (before 37 weeks) and have a lower birth weight than singleton babies, which means that they're more likely to need some special care.
Current guidelines say that you should be offered an elective (planned) birth from 36 weeks pregnancy if your babies share a placenta, and from 37 weeks if your babies each have their own placenta. This could be by planned caesarean, or you could have your labour induced depending on the type of twins you're having and the position of the babies. Find out more about caesareans or being induced.
Evidence shows that risks to the babies are increased if they're not born by 38 weeks. If you don't want to have a planned caesarean or an induction you can choose to wait and go into labour spontaneously. If this is your choice, you'll have a weekly appointment with your obstetrician and regular scans and other tests to check that your babies are healthy.
You're unlikely to be eligible to have your twins in a birth centre, and will probably find it difficult to get support for a home birth. If you feel strongly that you would like one of these options, you can discuss it with your midwife or obstetrician. If you're not able to arrange the care you want, find out more about how to negotiate your care.
For more information and support if you're having twins you can visit the Twins and Multiple Births Association (Tamba) or the Multiple Births Foundation.
Home birth
Is home birth messy?
There's inevitably a bit of mess with a home birth, but a bit of forward planning will mean that there's no permanent effect on your home. Make sure you have some waterproof sheeting (such as plastic sheeting or oilcloth), and your midwife will bring large disposable absorbent pads to go underneath you. You can also use old towels or sheets which can go in the washing machine afterwards.
Your midwife will make sure that that your home is clean and tidy before she leaves.
Is my home suitable for a home birth?
The vast majority of homes are suitable for a home birth. Most midwives would prefer that you have access to a toilet, running water, electricity and a phone (either landline or mobile with signal). It's also useful to understand how you would be transferred to hospital if there was an emergency - for example, whether there are are several flights of stairs and if there's road access for a vehicle. If you're planning to use a birth pool upstairs, check in advance that your ceiling is strong enough to support the weight.
It is important that you feel comfortable giving birth, so you need to consider whether it's private enough for you (in terms of being disturbed, overlooked or overheard). If you have other children you may need to think about whether you want them to be present at home while you give birth.
If you want a home birth but have a concern about your home, discuss it with your midwife.
What should I do with my older child/ren if I have a home birth?
It's up to you whether your children stay at home with you while you have a home birth. It's probably best to have someone other than yourself and your partner to look after them, as you'll both become increasingly preoccupied as labour progresses. It's also helpful to have your childcare arrangements covered in case you need to transfer to hospital.
Some children come and go freely into the room where their mother is labouring, and most seem to take it completely within their stride. If they're old enough, you may want to explain a bit about what is likely to happen beforehand so they understand the hard work involved and the noises you may make. You can also let them know in advance that you may decide to go to hospital, so that they're not frightened in the event of a transfer.
Ultimately it's up to you whether you want them around or not, but prepare to be flexible either way - they may decide to watch it all, or keep well away, or they may sleep through it all and wake up to find they have a new baby brother or sister!
Will I still get help with breastfeeding if I give birth at home?
Being at home provides a good opportunity to have uninterrupted time for skin-to-skin contact with your baby, which will help with the process of starting breastfeeding in an unhurried way. Some babies will instinctively start to breastfeed given this opportunity.
Your midwife will be there immediately after the birth to help you feed your baby, and give you support breastfeeding if that's what you've chosen to do. She'll make sure that your baby is able to latch on and suckle effectively before she leaves you and your partner alone with your baby. A midwife will return the next day, and can give any further help you need. There are a number of other organisations such as NCT, the Breastfeeding Network (BfN), the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers or La Leche League which have breastfeeding support helplines or volunteers who will help if you have any problems, in addition to lactation consultants at local clinics or the hospital.
How does it feel to transfer in labour?
For some women there can be a feeling of relief associated with transferring to the labour ward during a planned home birth. If labour has been slow to progress, it can feel that something is finally happening. If labour has been more painful than expected, it can bring the promise of stronger pain relief.
However it can also be disappointing to have to transfer. Being transferred can feel very passive, in contrast to the active participation in labour at home. There can also be a loss of the continuity in your care when you're 'handed over' to hospital staff. For some women there's a sense of failure and grief that the birth they planned is not to be.
You may not want to think about the possibility of transfer when planning your home birth, but it could help to discuss the process in advance with your midwife to help you cope if it did happen. You'll then be able to relax and focus on having your baby at home, knowing that plans are in place should the need arise.
Postnatal care
Will my partner be able to stay overnight after the birth?
If you've had an uncomplicated birth, you may go home within a few hours of the birth and not stay overnight. If you do stay overnight, your partner may be able to stay with you, depending on the policies of the local unit. An increasing number of units allow partners to stay overnight, for example on a reclining chair on the postnatal ward. Some can be accommodated on a camp bed if you're in a single room. Some rooms, particularly in birth centres, even have a double bed which you can share after the birth.
As local policies vary, it's best to find out whether your partner will be able to stay overnight before you go there to have your baby.
When will I be able to go home after giving birth?
If you've had an uncomplicated birth, you could go home within a few hours of the births as long as you feel well and able to cope with being at home with your baby. Some units like you to stay for up to 24 hours. You can find information about your likely length of stay for an uncomplicated birth on our individual unit pages on the postnatal tab.
If you've had a more complicated birth, such as an assisted birth or caesarean birth, you're likely to stay for one to three days. Fewer than 10% of women stay longer than three days after the birth.
Am I allowed to bottle feed my baby in hospital?
Many hospitals have a policy of promoting breastfeeding because it has a number of benefits for both you and your baby. You'll have the opportunity to discuss your decisions about feeding with your midwife while you're still pregnant. If you've decided that you want to bottle feed with formula milk instead, this can be written in your notes so everyone is clear. The midwives should support your decision and help you with feeding after your baby is born. You'll still be encouraged to have skin-to-skin contact with your baby immediately after the birth.
Hospitals vary as whether they provide formula milk, bottle and teats. You should ask your midwife in advance what is provided so that you know what you need to bring in when you're in labour if you intend to formula-feed. They should have facilities for your to store your milk and bottles, and show you how to safely sterilise equipment and make up feeds.
Birth statistics
How many women have an unplanned caesarean?
Around 15 women in every 100 have an unplanned caesarean, although this varies around the country. Different groups of women can be more or less likely to have an unplanned caesarean. Older mothers are more likely to have one than younger women, and first-time mothers are more likely to have one than women giving birth for the second time. Find out more about caesareans or use our unique Birth Choice tool to compare the unplanned caesarean rates of your local maternity units.
Why does your website not show personalised statistics for women living in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
The statistics can only be personalised if they're calculated from individual hospital records. Our data suppliers BirthChoiceUK have access to records for all women having babies in England, but not for the other three countries of the UK. For Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland the statistics are calculated by official government or NHS departments. Please be reassured that all individual hospital records used for England are anonymised so that no-one can be individually identified from their record.
Your rights
Can I refuse to be induced?
Your consent is required for any medical procedure and you're within your rights to decline an intervention. If you don't take up an offer of induction your decision should be supported. However, it's important that you weigh up the risks and benefits of accepting or declining induction.
Find out more information about induction from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).
I've been told I can't give birth in a birth centre. What are my rights?
You might not be offered the choice of a birth centre if there's not one in your local area. You can use this website to find out about other birth centres in your region where you might be able to give birth.
Most birth centres only accept women who are at low risk of complications and who fit a list of criteria including being within certain age and weight limits, and being at the right stage of pregnancy when you go into labour. If you're at increased risk of complications you may find it more difficult to arrange to give birth in a birth centre.

Visit the Birthrights website to find out more about your legal rights to choose where to have your baby (external link)
Can I ask to have a caesarean?
Yes. If you want to have a caesarean for no medical reason, you can ask your midwife or doctor. If you've been planning a vaginal birth, you may decide during labour that you would like to have a caesarean. At this point, you're not entitled to a caesarean unless the doctor decides that there's a medical need. Find out more about caesareans and asking to have one.
I've been told I can't have a home birth. What are my rights?
You may be told that you can't have a home birth if you're having a first baby. In these circumstances it might be helpful for you to make sure you understand the evidence about safety, transfer rates and intervention rates for first time mothers having a home birth so you can weigh up the risks and benefits personally. Find out more about the evidence. If you're reassured that it's what you want to do, you can let your midwives know that you're making an informed decision to plan a home birth. If you're still unable to arrange a home birth there are a number of people and organisations you can contact to get help, including a Supervisor of Midwives, the Association for Improvements in the Maternity Services (AIMS) or Birthrights. Find out the contact details for organisations which can help you.
Find out more about your rights during the birth of your child.
You may be told that you can't have a home birth because you are at increased risk of complications. If this is the case, find out about how to get the maternity care you want.
I don't want an episiotomy (cut). Can I refuse one?
Your consent is required for any medical procedure, and you should be asked before a midwife gives you an episiotomy. At this stage (when the baby's head is just emerging) you may not realise you're being asked for consent, but midwives and doctors are required during labour to make sure that you have clearly given consent, especially if you've taken pain relieving drugs.
You can refuse to have an episiotomy, but you need to be aware that this may be an emergency procedure to enable your baby to be born quickly. Sometimes a midwife will give an episiotomy if she thinks it will avoid a serious tear which may cause longer-term problems.
If possible, discuss your concerns about having an episiotomy with your midwife before you go into labour, so that you can understand the circumstances in which you may need one.

3PB planning and land experts William Webster and Robert Weatherley's book has been reviewed by planning solicitor Kate James of TLT in the Law Society ... read more
Members of the group are available for work in all areas of property related law and in traditional Chancery work. We undertake advisory work and drafting at all stages of cases from pre-action protocol letters to representation in Tribunal or Court. Barristers appear at all levels of the civil courts from the County Court to Court of Appeal with more senior members having appeared in the House of Lords and Supreme Court.
In addition members appear before more specialist tribunals, such as the Rent Assessment Committee, the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal, the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal (formerly the Lands Tribunal) and the adjudicator to HM Land Registry.
We are also regularly instructed in mediations and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, with several barristers qualified to act as mediators.
Barristers will travel for site visits and can arrange conferences in any of our six locations, all of which have video-conferencing facilities. Conferences, advice and representation can be arranged at short notice in urgent cases.
Property work
A substantial part of our work comprises residential and commercial landlord and tenant disputes. Members of the group also have experience of leasehold enfranchisement, homelessness, housing (including Anti-Social Behaviour Injunctions) management and service charge disputes.
Our real property work includes boundary disputes, adverse possession, co-ownership disputes, trespass and nuisance, mortgages, conveyancing disputes, land registration, restrictive covenants and easements.
Several group members have considerable expertise on the Party Wall, Etc. Act 1996.
Chancery work
Members of the team undertake the full range of traditional chancery work including wills & administration of estates, contentious probate, Inheritance Act claims, trusts, charities, personal and corporate insolvency and partnership disputes.
Many members of the group also act in professional negligence matters arising out of the above subject areas.
3PB Property and Chancery team are regularly endorsed as 'leaders in their field' by the independent legal directories.

Virginia Births and Christenings (FamilySearch Historical Records)/Known Issues
| This page was created by FamilySearch Historical Records personnel. It details problems identified within this collection and answers to those problems.
If you wish to comment, please visit the talk page to post your comments.
Known Issues
Question #1: Are there any records in this collection from before 1853?
Answer #1: Yes, there are approximately 32,500 birth record results for the year range 1584-1852. However, this number only represents 1.6% of the all the records in this collection. Therefore, the year range 1853-1917 truly represents most of the records. A few records (less than 2%) may be earlier or later.
Question #2: Batch C00540-5 is supposed to contain records from Alleghany, Amelia and Alexandria County but many records are indexed as being from Highland County. Are these records really from Highland County or is this an indexing error?
Answer #2: This appears to be an indexing error. To verify the location of records listed as Highland County in batch C00540-5, you may order film #2046911 (See Ordering Microfilm and Microfiche) and view it at your local FamilySearch Center. We recommend you call ahead to verify that they have the equipment for viewing films and their hours of operation.

Obama, creativity star as Rio Carnival defies crisis
By Stuart Grudgings
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The 10 million extra government-provided condoms are poised, final touches being put on huge floats depicting Queen Cleopatra and Can-can dancers, and the Barack Obama masks are flying off the shelves.
Brazil's annual Carnival, the pre-Lenten festival of hedonism that possesses Rio de Janeiro and much of the country, is ready to take off this weekend despite the best attempts of the global economic crisis to drag it down to earth.
Creativity is the word of the year as Rio's top Samba schools grapple with a double whammy of stingy benefactors and a rise in costs of imported materials used in their floats and costumes that are at the center of the spectacle.
The number of foreign tourists is expected to fall by about 10 percent from last year, Rio officials say, and some mining towns in nearby Minas Gerais state had to cancel their parades as the global crisis hit public coffers and employment.
But Brazilian visitors to Rio are expected to make up the numbers for the crisis-hit foreigners and the spirit of debauchery and irreverence is in no danger of being dimmed.
"It'll be the same as always -- lots of sex and lots of drink!" said Leo, a 24-year-old from the Minas Gerais town of Ouro Preto, who was shopping for costumes in downtown Rio and who rushed off without giving his surname.
Violence marred the run-up to the revelry on Thursday as more than 40 tourists were held up and robbed in two separate incidents in a reminder of Rio's severe crime problems.
Seven men armed with knives, guns and grenades broke into a hostel in the district of Lapa, famous for its Samba clubs and parties, early in the morning and held some of the 34 foreign and Brazilian tourists hostage for at least an hour. Continued...

2016 Volvo XC90
Even for conservative Volvo, 12 years was a long wait.
Space and Ergonomics
The driving position in the new model is excellent, and visibility is good all around. One of the benefits of having a horizontal shoulder is that the window line stays low and visibility to the rear quarters is better than in most competitors—at least if you fold the second-row-seat headrests. Visibility to the front quarters is also good, as the A-pillars aren't too thick and the mirrors are mounted far enough back on the doors to allow a gap between them and the pillars—thus avoiding the foot-and-a-half-long blind spot plaguing some cars.
The instrument cluster on lower-trim models situates a small LCD information screen between a large speedometer and tachometer. On higher trim levels, the entire cluster is a 12.3-inch screen that is fully configurable to provide whatever information you deem relevant. The XC90 will feature an optional head-up display.
Volvo says the XC90 is "a true seven-seater, with a focus on ease of use." The second row is spacious, with plenty of room for even boot-clad feet below the front seats. As before, the middle seats adjust fore-and-aft to vary legroom distribution between the second and third rows. The wayback is, of course, the tightest place to be, but we were able to sit there without compressing any body parts. Even in the third row, there's room for your feet under the middle seats, although access in and out is a bit cramped.
Storage behind the third row looks larger than before, mostly because the 2016 XC90 is about four inches longer than the old one. It's also a little wider and slightly lower. There's a sizable bin below the load floor for the spare tire—an item that Volvo views more as a necessity than a convenience.
Despite the size increase, Volvo engineers promise the seven-seat XC90 will be at least 220 pounds lighter, thanks to extensive use of high-strength boron steel and some aluminum body panels. (The last XC90 we weighed—seven years ago—came in at 4786 pounds.) These weight benefits should cascade throughout Volvo's lineup, as this XC90 marks the first use of the company's Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), which eventually will undergird every Volvo size medium and up.
Driving Impressions—Without Driving
During our drive—er, ride—in the new model, it felt rigid and quiet. Wind noise was moderate and so was engine noise in both the diesel and gasoline versions in which we were chauffeured. Both packed just four cylinders, as Volvo has adopted a pure four-cylinder philosophy across its passenger-vehicle lines, all of which are derived from the same Drive-E engine architecture. (Yes, diesel and gas.) The engines in our prototypes were 2.0-liters, and they're available in various outputs. The gasoline engine in the XC90 was the most powerful selection, and it will wear the familiar, yet misleading, T6 label. It delivers 302 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque and is coupled to an eight-speed Aisin-Warner automatic gearbox. (For more on the engines, read our first drive experience in the current-gen S60 sedan, V60 wagon, and XC60 crossover.) A plug-in gas-electric hybrid model will be the top powertrain option.
Volvo recognizes that its customers expect a smooth and hushed cabin, and the company has taken copious steps to quiet the often-raucous nature of a four-cylinder engine. When you pop the hood, you notice a thick rubber gasket that completely encircles the compartment and seals against the hood to prevent engine noise from escaping. The big four-cylinder has the largest upper motor mount we've ever seen—stretching about a foot horizontally.
This engine is responsive and powerful enough—at least as far as we could determine from the passenger seat. The big turbocharger needed to extract 302 ponies from a 2.0-liter engine would usually produce sluggish response at low revs, but Volvo has fitted a supercharger to make sure the engine answers to the whip at all rpm. And whether at idle, redline, or accelerating in the midrange, the engine never emits a groan or discordant note.
The goal in developing the new chassis was to achieve the feeling of driving a smaller and lighter vehicle. To that end, the engineers employed a control-arm suspension in front and a multilink setup in back. There will be versions with conventional suspensions, as well as those with air springs and electronically adjustable shocks. When you order all-wheel drive, you get a Haldex system that diverts torque to the rear wheels when it senses even a smidgen of slip.
Judging dynamic performance from the passenger side is challenging, but we felt the XC90 had a good combination of ride and body control. Body roll was moderate, and the suspension had plenty of travel to absorb large bumps and spare jolting the occupants. Of course, we got no sense of the electric power steering and its levels of control and feedback.
All told, the new, Swedish-built XC90 looks promising, and Volvo stresses that it uses 100-percent in-house technologies. (Certainly, the company is aware that perceptions of poor Chinese quality could severely damage its reputation.) Volvo's distinctive choices, such as the clean interior styling, the thoughtfully organized, vertically oriented LCD, and the four-cylinder-engine philosophy all seem to work toward a harmonious whole. This little taste has us eager for a real bite, which we should get later this year when we drive the final version.

Efforts to change local government face opposition
Efforts aimed at restructuring local governments in two Indiana counties face stiff opposition in the Legislature.
The Evansville Courier & Press reports a House committee passed a bill Tuesday that would require mergers of two units of government such as a city and a county to pass referendums including voters in both units. That would make efforts to merge Evansville and Vanderburgh County more difficult. The merger proposal lost by a wide margin in a countywide vote in November.
Another bill aimed at replacing commissions with a single executive in all 92 counties opposed by the Indiana Association of County Commissioners threatens to derail an effort to make the change in Allen County.
The Journal Gazette reports the commissioners group is concerned about Allen County commissioners' position on the proposal.

I have a ParaOrd P13 that is new, but older. Has been in a box for many years, I believe. I have just started putting rounds through it. It is an alloy frame, and the trigger seems to be plastic? of some sort.
I'm having problems with the trigger returning after firing. I replaced the factory mainspring with a Wolff version.
Seems it could be one of three things, the trigger needs smoothed, the trigger channel does, or the spring is not providing enough pressure.
Anyone here run into this?

3 Responses to "County Republican party executive director suspended; party apologizes for comments"
Mind-boggling. Please tell me that both these blanks (Rush and Cornelius) are suspended forever from having any position of power higher than a greeter at Walmart. Disgusting.
And so another GOP relic says what he is "thinking". Keep it up and you and your party will be that much closer to filler in the dustbin of contemporary history.
Another non-apology from the party of stupidity and hate. Were the boots the right height? I heard they were 47% unacceptable. What a snob. Oops. I'll get back to you on what magazines and newspapers I read right after I lunge for my bottle of water. (Lies and misinformation make my mouth dry.)

Was talking to some folks yesterday and they were telling me that you can get a Fla out of state permit and carry in 30 or so states. I tried to do a search on this forum for the info but didn't find anything. Can you point me to the information. I hate to discuss something that has already been discussed.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
I think - without checking my paperwork - the FL covers about 25 or 26.

Since a lot of people hold multiple permits, I took another look at Florida's list of accepted state permits. It looks like FL does honor quite a few, but only resident permits from other states, no other state's non-resident licenses were listed.
The NRA omits this info, at leas as far as Florida is concerned, and Packing.org isn't available at the moment, so can anyone tell me if their state accepts or honors other state's non-resident permits? Or just the other state's resident permits.
My point being, if other states only recognize out of state resident permits and not their non-resident ones, then getting a FL non-resident permit will only make you legal in FL, and not the other 20-some odds states that FL honors.
I hope that made sense!
Political Correctness has now "evolved" into Political Cowardice.
As far as I can tell (and I have been researching this recently) Florida, Michigan and New Hampshire do not accept Non-Resident permits. Utah accepts Florida's non-resident permit, but Florida does not accept Utah's. Arizona does not accept non-resident permits for residents of Arizona. South Carolina does not accept non-resident permits, but that is hardly a problem since they only accept the resident permits of 9 states: Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Wyoming.

Hi coder, i have a problem with the menu module.
I'd like to add pages like contacts or others pages inside URL and SEO at the root level of the menu.
The big problem is that "Menu Type" does not contain the option for displaying that pages. Also the "URL" type isn't multilanguage and the HTML type does not save the url I write inside the textarea ( with the annoying "p" tag add every time I save )
Thanks for your attention.
please mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. we will help

[USA-UKRAINE: Reaction] Jurgen Klinsmann came to the defense of his team after a disjointed and often horrific performance in the USA's 2-0 loss to Ukraine in Cyprus. He admitted there was a lot of work ahead and was hopeful of learning more when he brings in a new group of players -- from MLS and Mexico -- for the April 2 friendly against El Tri.
In particular, Klinsmann came to the defense of his backline that was badly exposed on the two goals.
"It would be totally wrong now to criticize
what went wrong," he said in his post-game press conference. "It was clear to us that playing a completely new backline, playing players that come out of the club system, who are in a difficult
situation not having the same confidence they usually have, there's a lot of work to be done and a lot to build on. Still, we continue to get John Anthony Brooks
back in there, we see where he's at, Geoff Cameron took the right back role and so on. [Edgar] Castillo
flies all the way from Tijuana and played a decent game. You see individuals a lot in these type of matches, so it's understandable that collectively, it's not clicking. It would be a
miracle if we had played well, still we need these games."

Mike Woitalla: U.S. Player Ratings
Klinsmann praised Ukraine -- a team that almost knocked
France out of the World Cup -- and its midfielder, Anatoliy Tymoschuk.
"One player that I've always admired stepped it up tonight, that
is Anatoliy Tymoschuk," he said. "He's a player you can see is on the Champions League level that we often talk about. He runs the show like a quarterback and gets everybody on the same page.
Even if they're not aware or alert, he wakes them up. It was impressive to see him in there tonight; it seems like he's getting younger and younger."
In a subtle jab at
his player pool, Klinsmann added that "the more you go in an overall pool the more you see that a player like Tymoschuk, we still have a ways to go to get to a player at that level."
Klinsmann said the decision to go with European-based players was a no-brainer, especially because he'll get a chance to see his other players in four weeks against Mexico in Glendale, Ariz. He said
flying over MLS players on Monday, having them playing on Wednesday night and fly back Thursday for MLS openers on Saturday made no sense.
"So we have to make those compromises and we are
happy to make those compromises because it gives us the opportunity to see the European players here," he said. "The same with the Mexico game on April 2, we do it the other way around, we'll be
missing the players from Europe and they have the opportunity to show where they are at right now.
Klinsmann leaves behind many European-based players who have hardly been playing or been
playing and playing poorly. Regarding Jozy Altidore, who was dropped from the Sunderland squad for Sunday's Capital One Cup final at Wembley, he said all he can
do is hope he gets a chance to play and break out of his scoring slump.
"At the end of the day," he said, "we can't influence everyone's situation on the club level. We can
follow it, we can talk to the players, we can talk to the coaches as well, but at the end of the day the players have to solve it. It is very important that our players get into a rhythm for the next
10-12 weeks."

CAIRO – Egypt's administrative court on Wednesday ordered the cancelation of controversial parliamentary elections scheduled for April 22, deepening the country's political crisis.
President Mohammed Morsi said that he would respect the court's decision, although it was not immediately clear whether he would appeal.
Judge Abdel Meguid al-Moqanen ruled the president had ratified a new electoral law last month without sending it to Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court for approval, as required by the nation's constitution.
Consequently, the court referred the law to the constitutional court and canceled Morsi's decree calling for elections.
The law was issued by the Senate, which has been acting as a legislative body since a previous court ruling abolished the lower house of Parliament in June over constitutional issues. The Senate sent it to the constitutional court, which returned it after rejecting several articles. The Senate then amended the law, but never sent it back for final approval.
This puts Morsi in an uncomfortable position. He has repeatedly insisted that elections would usher in stability, dismissing criticism that the polls were untimely with the country gripped by unrest and division. In a brief statement, the president's office said it "respects" the court's move, "reaffirming its respect for the constitution, the rule of law and the separation of powers."
Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood also said it would "respect the decision of the administrative court to halt the elections and then send the matter to the constitutional court."
The election had been scheduled to take place in four stages over two months. Egypt's main opposition bloc, the National Salvation Front (NSF),
, had already announced it would boycott it — expressing doubts over its transparency — and demanded a new electoral law.
The gulf between the ruling Islamists and the opposition has been widening since November, when Morsi issued a decree expanding his powers. The decree was repealed after intense street pressure, but only after a controversial Islamist-drafted constitution was rushed through.
The Brotherhood and its Islamist allies won an overwhelming majority in the legislative polls in the winter of 2011 and 2012. The NSF has accused the Brotherhood of wanting to "dominate all the state organs" and reiterated its demand for the formation of a government of national salvation.

Nelson Freire Pays Tribute to Native Country with 'Brasileiro'
Is Brazil the next major classical music hotbed waiting to be rediscovered? In modern times, we've seen composers from countries such as Finland, Denmark and Latvia rise up the food chain to earn their rightful place beside those of Germany, Austria and France. But perhaps because Latin-American composers have written such a vast range of music, it's easier to sidestep rather than face this overwhelming catalog point by point.
Fortunately, Brazilian pianist Nelson Freire is tackling the musical output of his native country with renewed zest. "Brasileiro" offers a finely chosen cross-section of Brazilian piano compositions that take their cue from traditional dance and song, most of which were composed in the period between roughly 1890 and 1960. It spans three generations of composers and there's a lot here besides the standard-bearer, Heitor Villa-Lobos.
Freire was born in Boa Esperança, Brazil, and moved to Rio de Janeiro at the age of six. Within a few years, as bossa nova and samba began taking the world by storm, Freire was becoming the country's rising classical star, winning the prestigious Rio de Janeiro International Piano Competition in 1957. Several works on this recording represent milestones in his musical development, including Barrozo Netto's Minha Terra ("My Country"), Alexandre Levy's Tango Brasileiro and Henrique Oswald's Valse lente - all of which he played as a child. Cláudio Santoro's Toccata was composed in 1955 and Freire performed it two years later at the Rio competition.
Villa-Lobos gets pride of place for obvious reasons. Freire begins with his suite Carnaval das Crianças (Children's Carnival), and continues on to some of the composer's most important piano pieces – the Choros No. 5 ("Alma Brasileira") and Valsa da Dor (Waltz of Grief) and New York Skyline, which was composed by superimposing a photo of Manhattan on a piece of graph paper.
Although Freire has seldom devoted much of his career to the works of his homeland, he makes up for lost time on this collection, showing a natural feel for the Latin rhythms and colors.
