Has she been in touch with the women from Birthrites? Someone could support her
to just stay home until labour is established which sounds about the only way
she will achieve a vaginal birth.
I hate how women are put in these appalling positions.

I have a good friend from Kununurra who has gone to Perth who is 9 days
post dates and wishing desperately for a vbac. She is seeing the clinic at
Osborne park and has had a show and periods of niggling and sporadic
contractions for the past few days. Has been told today to come in for
c/section tomorrow at 0630 and the staff are refusing to to a sweep and stretch
( even though the Reg said to have one 1 week ago) I have advised castor oil
and to question why tomorrow. They have mentioned fluid levels dropping, but
haven't done anything about that- sounds like scary medical tactics to me. Has
anyone got any ideas, I would like to be there to do a sweep but I'm in
Victoria. Thanks Cath
