A 30-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 1, at 39 weeks gestation presents to the hospital with painful contractions and a rupture of membranes. She reports that the contractions started a couple hours ago and are now occurring every 4 minutes. She is accompanied by her husband who states, “her water broke an hour ago before we left for the hospital." The patient denies vaginal bleeding, and fetal movements are normal. The patient has attended all her pre-natal visits without pregnancy complications. She has no chronic medical conditions and takes only pre-natal vitamins. Her temperature is 98.7°F (37°C), blood pressure is 112/71 mmHg, pulse is 81/min, respirations are 12/min, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. A fetal heart rate tracing shows a pulse of 140/min with moderate variability and no decelerations. Cervical examination reveals a cervix that is 7 cm dilated and 100% effaced with the fetal head at -1 station. The patient forgoes epidural anesthesia.
