well said julie. over the past few weeks i have been in labour ward with many women induced and all of them have lead to a cascade of intervention culminating in LSCS. The woman i was with the last shift, for example, ended up with a trial of forceps in theatre! why oh why do the powers that be decided it is time to come out ready or not! not to mention the fact that women then feel let down that they cannot due to a myriad of facts such as maternal exhaustion push that baby out. JUST WHEN WILL WE LEARN. regards
