Re: 36+ weeksBHC vs early labor From: rmodugno@aol.com Sun Jun 12 09:05:05 2005 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: rmodugno@aol.com: "Re: 36+ weeksBHC vs early labor" Previous message: Efrain Ramirez: "Re: 36+ weeksBHC vs early labor" In reply to: Efrain Ramirez: "Re: 36+ weeksBHC vs early labor" Next in thread: Garry E. Siegel, M.D.: "Re: 36+ weeksBHC vs early labor" Lenora herself said that the next morning she might have been in labor or the "false labor" contractions would have stopped - however, they may just continue. So let's say she is "in labor" the next day, I see no difference in augmenting a 36+ weeker the day before. The chances of a 36 and 4/7 weeker having an "invasive respiratory problem" is pretty slim, and I would have discussed the option/risks with patient/significant other before taking action.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit.
