IV / hep-lock/saline lock childbirth
In the UK do you have to have an IV or at least a hep-lock/saline lock during childbirth? I’m British and in NY and I’m told it’s standard practice here.
I wondered is this the norm in the UK?
Ideally I want to give birth without any medical interventions, including having a hep-lock or IV drip in my arm.
Thanks!!
