To date, pregnancy has been uneventful and diamniotic twins remain concordant with good growth. Comes in for routine clinic visit. She has absolutely no complaints. Question 1. Would you do cervical length measurement routinely? Question 2. If done, and measurement is 1-1.5 cm, and patient still denies contractions, what would you do? Question 3. You are in a small hospital that handles 36 weeks and greater, would you transfer care immediately if upon digital exam, she is found to be 1 cm dilated? We were debating this topic and came up with a few hypotheticals. Wanted to see what others would do. ************************************************************************ ****** Charlie Chambers -- Hood River, OR USA cchamber@alumni.rice.edu "All good things...come by grace, and grace comes by art, and art does not come easy."

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.
