1. 30 year old G2P1 has presented to the labour ward at 39 weeks of gestation with labour pains. Her previous pregnancy and delivery was uneventful and had delivered a 3.8 kg male baby. On examination, there was 3 contractions occurring every 10 mins lasting for 20-30 secs, the lower pole seemed to be having the breech and the CTG was reassuring. On vaginal examination, she was 5 cms dilated and the foot was presenting. The most appropriate management option is

2. 30year old nulliparous woman presented herself to the obstetric day assessment unit at 36+weeks of gestation with a mild to moderate vaginal bleeding. No further episodes of bleeding and clinically the woman was stable with breech presentation with adequate liquor and the EFW was 2.9kgs,with no evidence of placenta praevia or placental abruption.

3. 35-year-old G2P1 woman is with previous uncomplicated vaginal delivery of 3.7 kgs presented to the labour room with twin pregnancy and both babies are in a cephalic presentation at 37 weeks of gestation.

The USG done at 36 weeks showed twins are  above the  50th centile for growth with  no discordant  growth with adequate SDP of 5and 6 respectively. She progressed well during the labour with CTG normal throughout labour. The first twin is delivered by vertex uneventfully. After the delivery of the first twin, the second twin is found to be transverse. What would be the best immediate action?

25. A 23-year-old has  undergone  an  induction  of labour  at  41  weeks  +  6  days  in her  first pregnancy.  The  antenatal  care  was  complicated  with  an  admission  to  hospital  with  a small painful antepartum  haemorrhage  at 34  weeks  of  gestation.  The  symptoms  settled spontaneously  and  all  investigations  and  monitoring  were  normal;  her  blood  group  is  AB Rh positive.  Vaginal  prostaglandin  gel  insertion  established  labour  within  3  hours and  the labour  progressed such  that  6  hours  later  the  cervix  was  8  cm  dilated  with  meconiumstained  liquor  with  a  satisfactory  CTG,  and  epidural  anaesthesia  was  instigated.  Three  hours later,  the  fetal head  was  zero -fifth  palpable  abdominally;  the cervix  was  fully dilated;the position  was direct occipito  anterior , 3cm below spines .  with  minimal  caput  and  moulding.  and  a small  amount  of post-examination  vaginal  bleeding  was  noted.   The present CTG is as follows
