Just to add to this...
There was an extremely heated discussion at a meeting with docs and midwives
where I work about how doing a VE is the only way to ascertain progress in
the normal labour of uncompromised healthy women. The midwives now have to
come up with evidence showing that doing a VE within 1- 4 hours of admission
to hospital (then 4-6 hourly thereafter) is not necessary as we are able to
assess progress in different ways (all of which have been poo-pooed by the
medicos)...so...am needing the help of all you wonderfully wise women out
there.
Thanks in advance.

Was wondering what guidelines others worked with regarding when to do
vaginal examinations...specifically in the hospital setting. And what
evidence they base their practice on.
Thanks in advance.
