I would try NSAID even at that term of pregnancy &/or evacuation through amniocentesis which can be useful to evaluate fetal maturity. The fluid evacuation must be progressive (less than 2 l. at a time) and sometimes it induces the labour.

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.
