			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In recent days the Government, the Royal College of Midwives, National Childbirth Trust and the Department of Health have got themselves in a right old muddle over their swineflu advice for pregnant women.</p>
<p>Having a pregnant wife this has been a little annoying to say the least.</p>
<p>Muddled advice does nothing to allay people&#8217;s fears, it increases it.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve had weeks of people dying of &#8220;underlying health problems&#8221; which is so vague that it covers all medical conditions.</p>
<p>The media (inc.BBC) are the guiltiest parties in over egging the fear pudding. The main evidence being the last year&#8217;s news cycle where the main story has gone from &#8220;Credit Crunch&#8221; to &#8220;Recession&#8221; to &#8220;Depression&#8221; to &#8220;Swine Flu&#8221; to &#8220;Expenses&#8221; to &#8220;Swine Flu&#8221;.</p>
<p>Since the Millenium Bug, the media has become addicted to End of the World scenarios.</p>
<p>For pity&#8217;s sake &#8211; enough already.</p>
