It is with trepidation that I send home the young primigravida at, say 40w3d, who has been "contracting" for hours, maybe a day, but really isn't clearly in labor (i.e. 3 to 4 cm. and effaced with regular contractions).

Would this patient who is 3-4cms, effaced, with regular contractions not fit the definition of "labor"? I would augment this patient and alleviate my "angst". (And the patient's).

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
