Good Hope in Birmingham induction policy?

[LazyLinePainterJane]

Can anyone tell me if they know what the induction policy is at Good Hope? Am overdue now and realised that I don't know how long they like you to go over (my community midwife is attached to a different hospital), or what their policy is about sweeps and monitoring....

Can anyone help? Have tried to Google but the words "good" and "hope" when combined with babies are the vaguest words to search for

Bumping for you.

thanks

Hello
Believe they might offer induction at term plus ten. Sweep should be offered at term and monitoring would probably be daily if not induced by term plus ten days(until you go into labour/get induced)

i am almost certain that this is their policy!

Give the maternity ward a call. One of the midwives will be able to have a chat with you.

Their website is here but other than visiting times it's pretty useless.

Thanks, carmen. Their website is awful, isn't it WG? I was going to call them but am going in tomorrow anyway (am 40+7) and was refused a sweep at 40+1 by my community midwife.

Will be 8 days over tomorrow so was just wondering if they will book me in should the sweep not take effect or if they would want to try 2 sweeps. Guess just the one if it's 10 days. Damn inconvenient clinic days!

cant believe midwife refused the sweep!

I know! I think she just couldn't be arsed TBH, she muttered something about not trying them until 41 weeks as cervix likely to be unfavourable. I thought the cervix comment was fair cop, but that it was unrelated to how many weeks I was as it might be favourable now! I think she just didn't fancy doing one. She's a bit like that though.
