We're getting into this now!
This week was all about the different interventions used in the induction of labour and things used to assist the delivery of the baby (like forceps and ventouse). We then discussed the different things that the woman can do to induce labour herself - things that everyone's heard of like eating a curry - and also some we hadn't heard of like eating pineapple, having a hot bath or drinking castor oil!
I had visions of Clair asking me in a few weeks to make her a pineapple curry cooked in castor oil whilst she's running a bath!
We then watched a short video of a cesarian section of twins (gulp!) - I don't know what hospital this was but everyone seemed to have been to elocution lessons (or maybe it was the cameras?) and the doctors actually had time to talk to you..... or maybe it was those cameras again....
