Mary here is a quick summary of what I found all pretty standard stuff.....have full text papers if anyone is interested in any of the points...some of interest forwarded to the list.. isolated oligohydramnios at term in relation to no other fetal or maternal health issue is  not an indication for IOL...although may require further monitoring oligohydramnios diagnosed prior to third trimester has poor outcomes- live birth rate in one small study of only 1 in 15 measurement of liqour volume is done in different ways and alone is a poor predictor of problems but is probably quite useful when combined with other tests such as dopplers to monitor high risk pregnancies oligohydramnios is common in IUGR and in such cases warrants further ongoing assessment of fetal wellbing fetal growth restriction is the most common cause of stillbirth and one study suggests probably plays a large role in those IUFDs which are reported as unexplained overall oligohydramnios probably is related to an an increase in fetal intolerability of labour and an increase in CS for fetal distress; and a increase in the incidence of low apgar  at 5 minutes; no study has shown at relationship between oligohydramnios and neonatal acidosis maternal oral hydration has been shown to improve liqour volume within hours and probably has a lasting effect Regards Lisa -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mary Murphy Sent: Tuesday, 11 July 2006 6:24 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] Low liquor was Trial of scar “have done my own lit r/v and answered my own questions!!  Regards Lisa”    Lisa, would you share this with us?  I am very interested in the subject.  Thanks.
