Dear List
As a midwife with only hospital based past experiences,
I would be interested to hear from the homebirth midwives on the list whether
they recommend anything differently when attending a woman at homebirth with
mec. liquor. i.e. any oropharyngeal suction on the peri? and
the subsequent outcomes....( I think I know the answers I am going to
get!)
It seems that in a hospital situation everything
is so rigid and I for one am not prepared to deviate from the
policies set by the paediatricians/obs. on such issues, (especially
as I only work on a casual basis) but my feeling from the
discussions on this list of late is that peri
suctioning is an unnecessary trauma inflicted on a lot of
babies with no benefit.
I have to admit that I haven't researched this topic on
line but would value your previous experiences on the subject.
Thanks
Helen Cahill
