N2  - The individuals and institutions involved in the delivery of maternity care in Iowa can be justly proud of the past record. This has been achieved not only because of careful and thoughtful planning but because our population characteristics are extremely favorable which results in a small percentage of underprivileged. It would appear that our favorable position is changing, and unless progressive steps are taken in the next few years, serious problems will develop resulting in inferior maternity care.
