One tries, but often these women have been convinced that an IOL or C/S is vital. When queried,or one tries to counsel them the reply is often 'O, I'm here now, I may as well go through with it.' -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Janet at home Sent: Thursday, 1 March 2007 11:21 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] Frustration
That must be very frustrating. Do you or your other midwife colleagues have any strategies for challenging these management decisions given that they are clearly not evidence based, are gross overservicing and just plain dangerous?

We have had a run of inductions and LUSCS for either SGA or LGA lately because 'the scan said such & such'. The SGA's that I've seen have ranged from 2.8-3.1kg and the LGA's from 3.4-4.1kg. One lady recently had a LUCSC for her 4th bub because by USS it was 12 pound. Surprise, suprise out came an 8 pounder which was less than her last vaginally born baby. Grrrrrr....

Also she would need to be reviewed, and may need the repair repaired by another dr. One wonders what he has done. Of course it will all be her and/or the baby's fault.
