Am resending this as didn't come thru" on my email. lisa
Janet could you please provide us with some references on the low liquor thing? My understanding and experience is that in some cases of severe growth restriction, low liquor is concerning, obviously this would be assessed along with other measures of fetal wellbeing. But if one has a IUGR fetus who has placental insufficieny, poor growth and low liqour volumes; you have a baby that is at risk of adverse perinatal outcomes such as IUFD etc.A decsion needs to be made between IOL and further inutero monitoring. We need to be careful we are not normalising the pathological!

And yes, like everyone says, if those women weren't being carved up no one could come out with that crap. It's a bit like the "We have to induce for low liquor" rubbish when everyone who's read anything of worth knows that low liquor means bubs is on the way shortly... Pathologising the utterly normal, again! : ) J -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe.
