Hi Elaine
Just as a follow up to your previous e-mail, have you come
across Sara Wickham's article on checking for nuchal cord?
It appeared in the Feb 2003 issue of Practising Midwife 6
(2) 27 and, like you, she questions whether midwives should
be checking for cord.
I am not sure whether anyone else on this list has come
across any other papers but, if so, I'm sure they will pass
the details on to you.
Best wishes - Mary
