So, if the labour walks fairly everything's OK. If fever occurs => induction. Induction too if there is no spontaneous onset of labour after 24 (48?) hours in case the temperature remains normal.

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.
