S2 EP24: Do you need your waters artificially broken during labour?
Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... Podcast, season 2 episode 24. In this episode I'm talking about amniotomy, AKA having your waters broken artificially. Now hear me out on this one, you might think it's not relevant to you because you're not planning on being induced, but this is happening more and more frequently in spontaneous labours as well as induced labours and it could serve you really well to understand why!*Please note this podcast is not medical advice, all opinions are my ownLinks mentioned in this episode:Cochrane review "Amniotomy for shortening spontaneous labour" - click hereRisk Factors for Umbilical Cord Prolapse at the Time of Artificial Rupture of Membranes - click hereIn Defence of the Amniotic Sac - click hereNEW!
