Does your hospital have a policy on no walking after ROM?

Just curious. One of the hospitals here mandates strict bedrest (not even up to the bathroom) after ROM. Is this a common practice?

And soon I will be just another nurse telling poor laboring moms they can't get up and walk due to risk of a prolapsed cord as I will have to follow the policies.:uhoh21:

Or maybe telling labouring women that that is the policy but you can't physically stop them from getting out of bed - and that walking is much better for them? Its a policy but it ain't the law!!:redpinkhe:redpinkhe
