I agree, not only is it intensely frustrating but one then has to regain this
woman's confidence as you prepare to be the primary carer in labour. It is
however a true joy when a woman decides to listen to all the evidence, decides
that a social induction is perhaps not the simple process she thought and goes
home to await SOL :)

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.'

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?

It amazes me that sometimes these doctors just don't seem to learn. 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....

Delightful doctor told his lady that the episi he cut which extended to a
3rd degree tear was so extensive that she would need a C/S next time. 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. Grrrrrrrrr
