Mothers and Babies Report 2008

This report summarises data from the 2008 Northern Territory (NT) Midwives’ Collection. It includes population characteristics of mothers, maternal health status, antenatal information, conditions and procedures used in labour and childbirth as well as birth outcomes of all births that occurred in 2008. While the NT Midwives’ Collection contains information on both NT residents and interstate residents who gave birth in the NT, the focus of this report is NT residents who gave birth in the NT.
