Tight or loose?

Multiple loops or not?

Any evidence of fetal restricted movement?

Any evidence of fetal growth abnormality?

Any evidence of decreased amniotic fluid?

Any abnormalities of the cord (knots, too long, short)?

Clinical correlation recommended later in gestation... or if any problems arise.

These things are common and usually cause no problems...

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.
