437 | 2018-04-21 04:27:42 | Alternative Therapies | Alternative therapies are treatments used as replacements for traditional medical treatments (i.e. they are used instead of medicines and other treatments). They include herbal remedies, touch therapies such as massage, cognitive and behavioural training and dietary modifications. Alternative therapies are common, though there is a lack of scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of many.It is important never to stop taking medications and other treatments prescribed by a doctor without first talking to your doctor. If you are interested in using an alternative therapy, talk to your doctor about the evidence for the therapy and the risks of withdrawing from your current treatment before you make any changes. |

455 | 2018-04-21 04:31:06 | Amniotomy | Amniotomy is also known as Artificial Rupture of Membranes (ARM).

This causes the ‘waters to break’. This procedure is not generally painful, but may be uncomfortable. It is carried out in order to induce labour, place a scalp monitor on the baby, or check for passing of meconium (the baby’s first stool). |
