She's a train wreck waiting for a place to happen. Just be glad she's out of your hands. I agree that she should be delivered ASAP (preferably yesterday!). Anyone foolish enough to sit on this woman at term has my sympathy, as does her her family.

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.
