[ozmidwifery] Opinion on Fasting

[JoFromOz]

Hi everyone. Where I work, the consultants tend to 'fast' women who have a few decellerations in a post - prostin CTG trace just incase they need a c/s, and have them on continuous CTG monitoring.  Is this something that would help a woman feel that she can birth normally?  I wouldn't think so.  What do you all think of fasting women in labour 'just incase'??
