Things you might want to know about...
First, the independent review into maternity services at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, which has actions for every hospital trust.
Then, several pieces of research:
An overview of systematic reviews on the benefits and risks of upright positions in the second stage of labour (International Journal of Nursing Studies)
A systematic review on COVID-19 in pregnant women, including perinatal outcomes (Scientific Reports)
A Cochrane Review comparing intravenous and intramuscular prophylactic oxytocin in the third stage of labour to reduce postpartum blood loss
And another about relief of pain due to uterine cramping after birth -
A systematic review of the accuracy of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (BMJ)
A network meta analysis on the combination of Foley and prostaglandins versus Foley and oxytocin for cervical ripening, to decrease the time to vaginal delivery (AJOG)
Some of these may need a subscription or payment - speak to your librarian, if you have one, in the event of problems.
Stay safe, and season's greetings.
