I feel the same way.. I believe that her due date is 8/16 within error of a 15 wk scan. With that info, repeat cesarean without tap at 39 wks is within accepted ACOG guidelines. If the fetal surveillance is reassuring, I think I will wait until then..

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.
