I say do it if you like but its not for GBS prophylaxis.  Midwife states that our one MFM says that studies show better outcome for babies given antibiotics when PROM present for 12 hours.  Anyone know of any studies which support this??? > Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 02:52:25 -0500 > From: el@lisse.NA > To: ob-gyn-l@mail.obgyn.net > Subject: Re: Gestational Hypertension follow up > > I have never used Labetolol. > > The standard here for oral antihypertension in pregnancy > used to be methyldopa, but I have started using Nifedipine > more and more since ther first evidence came out that it > supresses labor (1995 or so).

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.
