According to the RCOG Guideline- until blood is available, infuse up to 3.5 l of warmed clear fluids, initially 2 l of warmed isotonic crystalloid.

• Further fluid resuscitation can continue with additional isotonic
  crystalloid or colloid (succinylated gelatin).
• Hydroxyethyl starch should not be used.
•  The best equipment available should be used to achieve rapid warmed infusion of fluids

Obstetric patients who are postoperative and receiving unfractionated heparin should have platelet count monitoring performed every  2 to3  days from days 4 to 14 or until heparin is stopped.

The platelet count should be checked after 24 hours of initiating treatment if the patient has previously received heparin (unfractionated or LMWH) in the last 100 days.

Planned VBAC is contraindicated in women with previous uterine rupture or classical caesarean scar.

Women who have had two or more prior lower segment caesarean deliveries may be offered VBAC after counselling by a senior obstetrician. This should include the risk of uterine rupture and maternal morbidity, and the individual likelihood of successful VBAC.

Antenatal thromboprophylaxis for those with previous VTE should begin as early in pregnancy as practical.

Women with previous VTE should be offered prepregnancy counselling, and a  prospective management plan for thromboprophylaxis in pregnancy should be made. Those who become pregnant beforemreceiving such counselling should be referred at the earliest opportunity in pregnancy to a clinician
with expertise in thrombosis in pregnancy.

Well done for taking the quiz ! Small steps taken everyday make a huge difference.

Offer a trial of supervised pelvic floor muscle training of at least 3 months'
duration as first-line treatment to women with stress or mixed urinary
incontinence.Pelvic floor muscle training programmes should comprise at least 8 contractions performed 3 times per day.

Do not use perineometry or pelvic floor electromyography as biofeedback as a routine part of pelvic floor muscle training.

People who are concerned about their fertility should be informed that over
80% of couples in the general population will conceive within 1 year if:
- the woman is aged under 40 years and
- they do not use contraception and have regular sexual intercourse.
Of those who do not conceive in the first year, about half will do so in the second year
(cumulative pregnancy rate over 90%).

Use of UFH predisposes patients to thrombocytopenia..

Obstetric patients who are postoperative and receiving unfractionated heparin should have platelet count monitoring performed from days 4 to 14 ,

or until heparin is stopped.
