Cervical IncompetenceFrom: Martin St. Mark (mstmark@home.com)Sat May 1 19:57:46 1999
I need to get some more information an Cervical Incompetence. My wife is currently in her second trimester (21 weeks). At 19 weeks she started to experience pain but the source of the pain was not properly diagnose until she was 20 weeks. At that time it was reveal that the cervix had dilated to 2 cms. A week later it had gotten worse and had dilated 4 cms. She is currently hospitalize. The decision not to apply stitches was apparently delayed. The decisions has been taken that it is now to late for stitches. It appears that a decision has been taken to allow the dilation to continue with no apparent intervention. In addition she has a fibroid that has grown to 6 cms. It was said that at 20 weeks the fibroid was bigger that the fetus head. What medication can be use to reverse or decelerate the rate of dilation at this point with out any significant harm to fetus or Mother. Your Help would be greatly appreciated. I need help this is my first baby. A concern Dad.

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.
