I always find it amazing that what is
happening to a womans body (i.e SROM) is not believed and that she has
to go in for confirmation. Surely the woman would know and wouldnt
need it confirmed - so the hosp needs evidence because women cant be
trusted to tell the truth. Gggrr! The
Our Syntocinon procedure has been updated to include routine EFM. this has
apparently been routine in major hospitals for a long time and accepted by
midwives in these units as being the best practice.
I have unfortunately accepted this practice too - but feel saddened with the
risk for midwives
I agree completely Jo. I have been reading this whole thread and feel really
frustrated. So many things have gone through my head about what to write, but I
feel so disheartened at the moment by all the horror stories I have been
reading and hearing.

We have a system whereby women MUST be admitted to the ward after confirmed
SROM. In passing I may say, of women who come in with ?SRM, fewer than half
do have ROM so it isn't reasonable to expect Mum's opinion to be Gospel.
After admission we have an ongoing battle with the medical staff to
u would think so but ive actually seen quite a few women in my limited experience come in saying they 'thought' their waters had broken and it turned out to be just a bit of extra vaginal discharge.. the one i hate is 'are you sure you havent wet yourself?' i actually saw an ob ask a woman
i guess all you can do is educate each woman about how it is protocol to use CTG but tell her about the evidence that shows it to be of no benefit while increasing c/s and instrumental delivery rates and how it will reduce her mobility, positions possible, water usage, comfort etc etc and then
G'day,I am editing another book on behalf of the Australian College of Midwives. This time the book isn't about women or men but about those who help it all happen - the midwives. I am looking for midwives who are willing to write a short piece about their experiences as a caseload/group

I haveto say that, unfortunately, many women
are not in tune enough with their bodies to know whether theyhave ruptured
their membranes or not. this is evidenced by what they say on the phone...eg "
I'm not sure if I have broken my waters or not". And we have had
incidences of women
I understand that there is a need for
policies etc in the system.
