Im not playing devils advocate here or anything but....in this age of medical negligence and hospitals constantly having to plough thru red tape and NICE guidelines just to see us preggars ladies if there was anything wrong with her babys heartbeat there is no way they would have let her go home, not a chance. That would be straight up negligent and leave the hospital wide open to litigation. At the end of the day the midwives are the medically trained ones ,not us ( well, certainly not me anyway!) and who are we to say the lady should or shouldnt have been admitted or not. Im on my third baby and recently was kept in hospital for 4 days, i was told i couldnt even drive myself, i had to leave my car and get help straight away. I was on a ctg machine twice a day for at least 1/2 hr each time, each trace was studied and continued for longer if, for example, baby didnt move enough or the trace got interrupted.
All Im saying is, by stating that 'she should be immediately admitted' when we dont know the medical facts nor have the training to interpret them,is hardly going to ally her fears and get her to calm down!
