Dear list members:

I would like to know your opinion about the management of a pregnant patient with a history of a previous stillbirth of 8 months GA as the only risk factor (no data about any authopsy made or other studies).

Suppose that the current pregnancy has been followed with appropriate antenatal testing without encountering any abnormality, and maternal disease has been thoroughly ruled out, is there any gestational age at which you would prefer not to prolong further and elect to terminate the pregnancy, just for the sake of the 'previous stillbirth'?

.....39wks?.... 40wks?...... 41?.....

Thanks for your comments.

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.
