They have an early lunch followed by an NST in the office. If reactive, and all other criteria are met, they have 50 mcg Cytotec placed in the vagina in the late afternoon and head over to LandD. If all looks well they'll be sent home and asked to return when contractions are stronger, SROM, bleeding, etc... The majority will return around 1am and deliver before outpatient surgery starts on Friday morning. The nurses seem unenthusiastic about this plan, and Thursday night might be an experience, but it would certainly improve my attitude about the rest of the week!

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.
