Dear All
No one has mentioned the Bishop's score or any indication of readiness
for the uterus to be ready for labour and I'm wondering why? It's almost
as if that would make no difference.
thanks

We've just (last week) been funded to assess the feasibility of, and inform the optimal design of a future proposed definitive trial to examine the effectiveness (including optimal timing and frequency) of membrane sweeping. This includes a pilot parallel trial with embedded factorial design and an embedded qualitative package to assess the acceptability and feasibility to women and clinicians. This forms a major component of Elaine's PhD.
