Hi all..

New case

27 y/o G4P1A2 started prenatal care with this office at 31 wks gestation. Prior doctor did ultrasound at 15 wks supporting due date of 8/16/97. Patient has prior cesarean section with an LUT incision. Patient refusing TOL. Ultrasound was ordered 7/14/97 due to size less than dates. EFW at 35 3/7wks by U/S was 1900g (~10%). Repeat U/S by me on 7/15/97 (I did not have the report until later that day) was 2200g (greater than 10%) but head was 35 wks and body was 33 wks. AFI was 20. At that point I decided to get weekly NST's which have been reassuring.

I had her at the hospital today at 37 4/7 wks.

Strip was reactive. No contractions.

My plan was to tap and deliver if mature... L/S was 1.2 and PG was 0.0.

Questions: 1) Should I have just sectioned her? 2) Now that I documented immature lungs, what should I do?

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.
