Some women are strong enough to say they will come in to hospital but want to wait until the baby initiates the labour, but in the end they usually miss their family so much they give in.
Last woman I had contact with lived in a really remote area (but had two previous home births there with a local midwife (no longer living in the area).
This woman was told she had a breech and should not be on her own --- ended up waiting around in the nearest hospital for two weeks then had a C/S. Such a shame, but no IPM could see their way clear to go and stay with her.

Hi Everyone
I have a reporter from The Age newspaper coming to my house tomorrow morning at 9:30am to interview me about rural women being induced at 38 weeks because they are not close enough to an appropriate maternity
service. Although we all know that this is happening does anyone out there have any specific documentation on this "phenomenon" ocurring? Also do any of you know of anyone in particular who has undergone an induction at 38 weeks in a rural area?
Please help fast.
