Subject: Normal birth guideline/pathway
Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has a guideline around the care of women during
normal birth. Suggestions around when VE's are indicated etc.
We don't have such a thing, we have guidelines around prolonged labour,
prolonged pregnancy etc. We rely on the midwives assessment of when labour
is no longer normal, understanding that there is a huge variation in women
and their process.
Someone from another area asked me if we had one as they have to put such
guidelines in place following an incident.
I thought I would ask the collected wisdom here on this list what they have
in their places of practice.
I look forward to hearing from you.
with best wishes, Carolyn (Can you believe it is nearly a New Year?)

Midwife-led versus other models of care for
childbearing women-Latest Cochrane Review
Author's conclusions
All women should be offered midwifery-led models of care and women should be
encouraged to ask for this option.
