Summary

During your call duty, a healthy 30-year-old primigravida at 40+4 weeks’ gestation, confirmed by first-trimester sonography, presents to the obstetric emergency assessment unit of your hospital center with possible spontaneous rupture of the chorioamniotic membranes after a two-day history of increased aching in the low back and coccyx. You recall meeting the patient at a routine prenatal visit at 32 weeks’ gestation while briefly covering your colleague’s practice; you ascertained all aspects of maternal-fetal care had been normal. Electronic health records indicate she has since remained compliant with obstetric care, which has been uncomplicated up to the latest prenatal visit three days ago.
