[quote=Anonymous]"I think the issue these women have is the administration of an IV (or even heplcok) to ALL woman as soon as they are admitted. A simple conversation and examination can determine whether or not a woman has been able to adequately hydrate during the labor, whether her labor seems to be progressing, and whether or not she is at risk for needing/wanting other medications or procedures. Remember, women in out-of-hospital birth situations do not routinely receive an IV or even a heplock. If those midwives are able to appropriate and safely judge when that intervention becomes necessary, then it surely cannot be too difficult for a well-equipped hospital to do the same." Exactly.
