During my training as Registrar I was taught exactly what Dan is suggesting but over the years having managed hundreds of such cases my belief is that majority of such cases happily end up having an uneventful normal delivery albeit close monitoring is mandatory. Hence my approach will be to induce no matter what time of night or day it is and dont hesitate to start an appropriate antibiotic

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.
