Oh yes we are having a big discussion about the wording after that post, and I told everyone I am going to write an article:

 

“Failure to Progress: Why Doctors Need to Move On”

 

LOL!!!! I will too ;)

What a bloody crock. Yes, that's a common protocol to wave at birthing women who'd be doing just fine with a bit of evidence based care. I've heard limits of 38 weeks (yes, really!) through to 41 weeks on the time a woman with previous surgery is told she's "allowed" to gestate before being forcibly sliced open. It depends on the hospital and whether or not she employs a private surgeon.

Tell her to run for the hills if she wants to be safe. And don't get me started on the intrinsically offensive nature of that term... TOS - trial of service is what it really means!

J <- whose sister is currently labouring for her HBAC at 42+4 without ANY crap like that!

Just wondering what guidelines exist for trial of scar… a woman on my site said that she has been given until 41 weeks to give birth or she’ll be having another caesarean. Is this right? I am sure I have heard otherwise and seen otherwise…
