You really need to give her the option of a primary c-section right off the bat in light of the -3 station and the LGA infant in light of the extremely high probablility that she is going to end up with a shoulder dystocia and high potential for permanent injury to this baby.

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.
