[ozmidwifery] PROM @ 35 weeks...

[Tania Smallwood]

Hello wise women,   Just wondering if anyone has handy anything recent on PROM and expectant management vs induction of labour?  I've been reading my ECPC (Enkin et al) but don't have the current one at my fingertips, having lent it out a while ago.  Just wondering if it's still a bit ambiguous regarding the pro's and con's of IOL in this case.  We have a woman just over 35 weeks, who has had a small hind water leak.  No signs of infection, has had U/S and bloods, as well as a great ctg.  She's keen to rest and get to where she can birth at home.  I'm great with that, the hospital is NOT.  Would just like to know I'm giving her good information, as she's been told the old 'your baby might die' stuff at the hospital before checking herself out.   Thanks in advance   Tania
