Subject: intro and urgent question
>Hello,
>We are Kathy Herschderfer and Marlies Rijnders, both midwives and
>researchers working at a large research institute in the Netherlands in the
>perinatal epidemiology unit. We haven't as yet introduced ourselves
properly
>and will do so at a later moment. At this time we are writing a proposal
for
>a large grant to study the effects of late versus early pushing at full
>dilation (without the urge to push) in normal deliveries. As you probably
>already know, in the Netherlands, this means usually birth at home, with a
>midwife and without epidurals or other pain relief.
>What we urgently need to know is:
> Does anyone know if this subject has been researched?
>
>We would like to find answers to the following questions from either
>research findings or you own personal clinical experience.
> How often does this situation occur?
> What is the maximum amount of time one can wait at full dilation for
>the urge to push begins ?
> Are there any known contra-indications for not beginning on the
>second stage before the woman feels the urge to push?
>
>Thank you for your help. Greetings.
