In one hospital in Brisbane, not much is done to
inform women before they are about to recieve oxytocics unless they happened to
go to antenatal class where they are informed that it is given to help the
placenta come away and that's that!!!
However in the favour of some midwives I have been
with, they try to tell the women what the drugs is for and ask if they would be
ok about having it. Some midwives even avoid giving it unless haemorrhage
occurs but they are far and few between. Women just think that it is
necessary and say yes. So much for informed consent.
