Monty Python's 1983 film The Meaning of Life begins with a woman in hospital about to give birth. Comedians Graham Chapman and John Cleese are dressed as doctors in scrubs, surrounded by expensive hospital equipment (including the machine that goes ''ping'').

''Don't you worry, we'll soon have you cured,'' Chapman tells the panting woman. When she asks ''What do I do?'', Cleese replies: ''Nothing, dear. You're not qualified.''

Childbirth is still seen by many as something best ''cured'' by a doctor in hospital. The rate of major surgery for birth has more than doubled in the past 15 years in Australia. More than 30 per cent of mothers now have a caesarean - more than 40 per cent in private hospitals.
