We (Midwives) currently use prostin but there is a
move afoot for us to commence using cervidil. For lots of reasons, we are not
keen to go down this track and I am seeking info on what is currently in use
around oz so am fully armed in time for our next meeting.........and I must
thank everyone who has answered this thread so far you have been most helpful.
More info always gratefully accepted:)
Cheers
Alesa

Re:cervidil
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?

Re:cervidil
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!!!!!

Re:cervidil
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.
