This is one for the MIPPs...you here the occasional story of a woman at full dilatation during homebirth having a prolonged period of no contractions and going to sleep...How long would you wait? And when would you get concerned? These stories are in such contrast to what goes on in hospitals as someone has said...I'm sure there are some who believe that all will die if the synto isn't put up and flogged!!!!
In response to the commetns about ARM...women know too that ARM will often speed things up and it is a common request..of course doesn't mean that it is done...sometimes we find that the women we care for aren't interested in the normality of stuff and just what it over and done with.Many women would choose synto over waiting!
