StillbirthFrom: Dr. Ainsworth (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Tue Jan 24 22:19:33 2006
I had a high risk patient transfer to me from the midwives I backup. She is currently at 24 weeks, G2 P1100. She had one stillbirth in 1997 at 40 weeks secondary to a "cord accident," which I have not received a copy of. Her next pregnancy in 1999 was followed at a tertiary care center, I'm not sure if the Ob was a perinatologist, but she had weekly AFIs, NSTs 2x weekly from 34 weeks. At 35 weeks she had decreased AFI and was brought in for induction. FHTs were lost in labor, when the OB arrived, AROM showed thick meconium and no cardiac activity, the infant was 5# 2oz, AGA for 35 weeks. Pathology showed acute chorioamnionitis, as far as I can tell she was afebrile in labor and postpartum and GBS negative. My plan is to do weekly NSTs from about 32 weeks, 2x weekly from 34 weeks, serial sonos with weekly AFIs from 34 weeks. I've offered her the option of elective C/S at 37 weeks. What would others do??

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.
