Recently where I work a primip come in at term plus 7 days in early labour about 11pm. She had a CTG at 3pm which was reactive, good variability etc. (they do routine CTG's on post-dates women). The woman wasn't inestablished labour and the midwife suggested she return home. The woman wasn't

CTG's can only reveal what is happening at that moment and are subjective to interpretation.Often a CTG can look positively awful, and yet after FBS the pH is fine - and how often have many of us taken an emergency C/S to theatre because of a trace that was not reassuring - to have a

Hi Sadie,I guess the thing is that alot of people believe that a normal CTG (not in labour) is reassuring for fetal well being for the next 24 hours. Obviously this wasn't the case for this baby.You said about doing emergency C/S for unressuring trace only to have the baby come out

Hi,I have several different thoughts on Vit K, they do contradict each other a bit, Firstly, with regards to supplementing, most women would supplement pre-pregnancy and first three months with folic acid to prevent neural tube defects- so why would you not consider the same for HDN- HOWEVER
