well , i had the same idea , but usmleworld says ,, vaginal delivary !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :!: :roll:

any comment ?

  #4

i feel it should be immediate CS. i cannot understand going for a vaginal delvoery in the situation. Does UW give an explanation?

  #5

it may be because both fetus and mom are stable? :?: :roll:

Induction and vaginal. Both mom and baby are stable...good variabilities. Vaginal delivery still possible.
