"Sounds like the baby may have posterior urethral valves" Joe P. "Perhaps chromosomal analysis would be in order." Geff Klein

What more could I say?

Termination? Yes! Why? Early severe troubles. Delivery? And after? ICU? Is this the right baby in the right place?

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.
