I started nursing in late 80s and Silvazine was being used then. I can remember it being used for burns on adults and children, but other than that I don't know anything else. Midwifery took over in the mid 90s and I haven't given Silvazine another thought. Cath -Original Message-

If they like Lucozade that is even better because it not only is high in sugar for energy but also replaces salts and minerals. I always recommend to my clients that they take an energy drink to labour and give their birth companion instructions to alternate it with water. I think that is part
