Care during the latent phase is oft discussed amongst midwives as it can be an unpredictable and challenging phase of labour to support women through. What can be challenging is ensuring women feel respected and cared for, and are empowered to move through this phase of labour while still preserving normality and protecting women from unnecessary intervention. 

Recently I have had the experience of women who, for a multitude of reasons, chose not to go home during the latent phase and thus were admitted to the antenatal ward, either for further pain relief such as pethidine or because they were anxious about leaving the hospital. As a midwife caring for a caseload of women on a ward, juggling the needs of multiple women can be exceptionally challenging. Add an (understandably) anxious and frightened labourer into a busy ward, and it becomes more challenging. 

What is hardest I think is women want your care and time - they're in labour and have stayed for a reason. However when you have a caseload to manage, this becomes difficult. 1:1 care is not deemed necessary until cervical dilatation of 4cms or more confirms established labour - yet I would argue many women want and need this support prior to established labour.

Many colleagues often comment these women should be at home, which the evidence supports. However that doesn't provide help and support to women who choose not to leave the hospital.

How do we best manage this workload? And women's expectations? Is AN preparation enough?
