Midwives insert the cervidil there are no MO's.  Ashford is the biggest private hospital in South Australia. Induction rate is also about 70% maybe more, for all the wrong reasons.  What sort of results do you get with it?

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
