Steroid is given for lung maturity of the baby if the doctor is looking at a Preterm delivery steroids in a patient with diabetic can derange sugar levels
S car thickness as early mentioned yesterday
Does not determine the urgency to undergo a cesarean section as ultrasound is a poor predictor of the scar thickness
Was a transvaginal scan done to check it
You should wait till minimum 37 completed weeks till the patient has scar tenderness
