Hi there.
So much of what goes on in the hospitals do my head in! Thank god I've only got 4 more weeks to go in the system before I return back to private practise!! I can't see any purpose in this practice of wee measuring but it does really just reinforce the idea that birth is not a normal process. I have not seen it done anywhere else that I have worked. And while I'm thinking about crazy hospitals I would like to say much I admire the midwives who work within the system for change. The constant advocacy and sometimes conflict I could not endure on a daily basis (6 months has nearly driven me crazy) so my hat is off to you. Midwives who work for change within the system are vital and your work is so valuable. For each woman who receives support from one midwife who really cares and struggles for best outcomes and works within a best practice model change comes and a difference is made for that woman, for that midwife and slowly (for it is surely that is the system) change is made. Peace and Joy sisters.

I never encountered this in my training in the UK but have in the past here in WA. Needless to say at home we just make sure the woman has voided and and all else is well before we go home after a birth.
