They use Cervidil at Ashford, It has quite an aggressive action provided it's inserted correctly.  It's not easy to put in however being extremely awkward.  It's almost impossible to place it in the posterior fornix. One Ob described it to a patient as a tampon.  I found this very amusing as it's Barbie sized!!!!!

Most choose not to use it because of the cost. Hugs,Larissa. My next question for the list is to ask of any sites where Midwives are using cervidil. Cheers Alesa
