Any Suggestions? As they say in Alabama, "If it don't look right, it ain't right." Something may be wrong with the fetus--just a sneaky suspicion. If labor is arrested satisfactorily, what about a targeted ultrasound if not yet done, and did you send off chromosomes with the amnio (I bet you did)? In any case, seems like you are obliged to treat her preterm labor, as we all do, despite the lack of evidence that it makes a difference. If she gets far along enough to have a bubba, then you get into the discussion of what EFW motivates you to recommend a section without labor at term. Garry -- Garry E. Siegel, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.

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.
