Schmickers, I'm fairly certain the entire thing is purely midwife initiated - midwives recognise the need for it, midwives prepare it, midwives administer it. That's the beauty of it IMO no medical intervention required! Let me know how you go with finding stuff...last time i had a thorough search it was difficult to access alot of the info but since we have just started doing the injections at work we have alot more stuff hanging around at work that i could forward to you.
Fi, i guess it's one of those things, i mean who knows what *could* have happened. But as you know posterior babies need to turn and positioning plays a huge role in this. The back pain from a posterior labour is so intense that some women want the epidural which in turn prevents them from being able to move into positions to help the baby move and thus they kinda get jammed in that posterior position which makes for a more complicated birth Bugger about the timing
Kelly your trick has me intrigued......
