vaginal exmaination

Tutter · 27/06/2007 12:05

btw, there's a little circle before SROM - i take it means SROM didn't happen? (i had to have my waters broken by the mw)

OP posts:

Tutter · 27/06/2007 12:06

and later it says "tutter reports ? SROM"

OP posts:

SoupDragon · 27/06/2007 12:07

In that case,if in the context of a show, maybe it means there was no sign the membranes had gone...?

lulumama · 27/06/2007 12:07

you must have told them you thought your waters had gone...and then did they check you ? and then they broke later ?

SoupDragon · 27/06/2007 12:08

Did you think they'd gone and said that to the MW?

lulumama · 27/06/2007 12:09

was your show quite liquidy??

Tutter · 27/06/2007 12:09

hmm ok thanks. not sure. can't remember thinking they'd gone

sorry for drip-feed of questions, but next:

BO ++

ARM discussed

CTG commenced

OP posts:

lulumama · 27/06/2007 12:10

ARM - artificial rupture of membranes

CTG - monitoring of foetal heart rate and the contractions

Tutter · 27/06/2007 12:11
