At 34 weeks you're not going to give her steroids, what is the point in delivering? by definition she has severe pre-eclampsia.

Totally Wierd. She in on labetalol 200 q 8 hrs and bp down to 140/100 Starting on Mg today for prevention of seizure. If BP is controlled with labetalol would anyone opt for waiting two weeks to induce in light of expected RDS from amnio???

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.
