RE: [ozmidwifery] fdiu at 39 weeks

[Julie Clarke]

Dear Jan I can’t look it up for you because I’ve loaned out my copy of “Guide to Effective Care” by Enkin, Kierse etc but I’ll bet there be something research based in there as to the appropriate care of the woman in this situation. That’s what I’d be turning to for info. I wonder also if the SIDS assoc would be of any assistance with guidance / recommendations. Otherwise if there is no sign of infection my best guess is that there is no good  medical reason to induce, so she is within her rights to refuse the medical treatment. Is her blood pressure ok ? hug   Julie Clarke Childbirth and Parenting Educator Transition into Parenthood Classes 9 Withybrook Pl Sylvania NSW 2224 T(02) 9544 6441 F(02) 9544 9257 M. 0410 265530 email  [EMAIL PROTECTED]     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 25 August 2002 7:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] fdiu at 39 weeks   Dear Listers has any one information re waiting for spontaneous labour when the baby has died in utero at 39 weeks . the woman and her family want to wait but the medical staff want to induce . Her last baby was a c/s so this is a VBAC another good reason to wait . Look forward to answers ASAP JAN IRELAND
