One response I heard recently......"if we tell the
mothers that their baby is OP, we will cause anxiety".
Personally, I think it is important to avoid this
position, and tell them, and believe that women should be
told.
It does indeed cause many problems as you
mentioned.
I also tell them what to do to try to correct it,
prior to labour, from 34 weeks primip, 37 - 38 multi as Sutton & Scott
advise. They suggest that the following happens; early SROM, inco-ordinate
contractions, post maturity, induction, augmentation, increased pain, longer
labour, medical complications etc.
If its during labour, its off the bed,
upright, movement - rocking, climbing, birth ball, hands and knees etc.
