no, why? Assuming she is not diabetic or GDM I would leave her alone!( and even if she were diabetic or GDM I might still leave her alone)

pelvis proven to 9-15. Clinical EFW less than this. U/s EFW at this size is not terribly accurate. Would you recommend c/s at a particular EFW?

what is the woman's quesstimate? Studies have shown that she is as accurate as the rest of us in assigning EFW.

how would any of this change your management?

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.
