Labor Day 2014
Happy Labor Day!
A 25 year old G1P0 woman delivers a healthy baby girl at 39 weeks gestation. She has a history of gestational diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, and polyhydramnios. She had spontaneous rupture of membranes about a day and a half ago. She receives the drug above after delivery. About half an hour later, she develops shivering, then a fever. She receives acetaminophen and these symptoms abate after three hours.
