Cervidal is used where I work in W.A.  Only for primips due to the cost factor.  At this stage it is only inserted by the Drs.

Which is interesting as compared with two dose of Prostin it is actually cheaper.... however as described in a different post it is a challenge to insert and we have an OB who is trying to use Midwives to induce labour using this method. We feel (particularly as > 70% of our inductions are social) that this should be their (OB) role, thus the reason for my interest in common practice around the country. We (the Midwives) are currently conducting prostin IOL  but want to draw the line in the sand somewhere......

I only know of a couple of private OB's who use it at one of our local private hospitals. 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
