26 weeks 3 days, 7 contractions/hour, for drFrom: Scholarbo (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 24 Mar 2002 11:34:18 -0600 (CST)
When do you tell your patients to call or go to L&D? I'm on HUAM, 2x/day. Mostly ctx are only 0-5/hour, but last night I had 7. Matria called and per perinatologist's written orders, told me to drink water, pee, take brethine, and re-monitor for an hour, and the contractions went down -- I can't remember if it was 4 or 2/hour after that and 0 this morning. I only take Brethine in crisis, and this has been my only crisis. I called the on-call ob today and he says 8/hour is worrisome, but no intervention until 18/hour. Since I've already delivered once at 28 weeks with disastrous outcome, I'm not comfortable with his comfort zone. He's not my perinatologist, but he's the one on call today.
