Hi,
As you say it will always depend on the hospital policy. However, I imagine the best way to gain an independent answer might be to review the evidence - "A guide to effective evidence in pregnancy & childbirth" (Enkin et al) may be helpful, though it may also be slightly outdated. Alternatively, go to the Cochrane database
on-line.Then at least you've got the evidence to change the hospital policy (you've got to have goals!!)
Best wishes.

For those who work in maternity units, I am just wondering what the policy is in your unit in regards to how long a woman can continue after her waters have broken before having synto put up? There seems to be such pressure to put it up fairly quickly (after you ask to at least wait at all!), with an average of about 1 hour before the woman gets the pressure to speed things up.
