23-year-old G1P0, who came in for an induction this morning at
39 weeks and 5 days. She had an uncomplicated prenatal course
except she is positive for Group B strep and occasionally uses an
inhaler for her asthma. Her labor has progressed slowly. She’s now
4 cm/90% effaced and +1 station. She ruptured membranes about 30
minutes ago, and it was clear. Contractions every 90 seconds,
lasting 45 seconds.
Pulse 90
BP 135/85
Temp 37.2
FHR 140, Category 1
Her vitals have been within normal limits all day. She’s been at
an oxytocin rate of 20 milliunits/min since about noon. She doesn’t
want an epidural yet. Her husband just left 15 minutes ago to get
some dinner.
1 hr later...
Contractions are now lasting 60 seconds and occurring every 90
seconds.
Pulse 110
BP 140/85
Resp Rate 20
FHR: 130; late decelerations with minimal variability are
occurring with each contraction (Category III). A late deceleration
does not recover to baseline and evolves into a prolonged fetal
bradycardia with FHR of 65.
