but this will no longer be the case with compulsory continuous EFM for all Syntocinon Inductions. I can see Caesarians yet further on the increase at our hospital. Linda Hi, I find the whole idea of a procedure being compulsory as absolutely ludicrous!! You can't make a medical

Therein lies the problem with management of birth...all women, babies and births are not the same, so if everyone caring for the woman and baby does the same thing, how can this possibly be considered appropriate evidence based care? That is such and excellent and valid point. Also,

Abby, I agree with you, the proceedure should not be compulsory and I will take this up with colleagues, women should be given the right to choose if they want this, and I suppose the best way to go is what Emily has suggested and explain to the mother and write it in their notes if they choose
