We conclude that premature rupture of the membranes, even with onset in the second trimester, may be associated with a favourable outcome and this may be predicted by the persistence of fetal breathing movements.

Delivery time depends on your exact location and are impossible to guarantee. Typically delivery to major cities world wide is approximately 3-4 days. If you live in a remote location this may be longer. Delivery times do not consider any possible delay or problem with your customs process- which are completely outside of our control. Typically our products clear customs while actually in transit, making the process extremely smooth and uncomplicated. However, there can occasionally be a delay.

elective is any course not required for your major. In other words, it is a course not prescribed as a requirement for your degree. A full-time undergraduate course load is 12 credits hours or more in the Fall & Spring semesters. Most of the undergraduate degree programs require 120 credit hours to earn the degree. Students hoping to complete a degree in four years should take at least 15 credit hours in the Fall & Spring semester or 30 credit hours per academic year.
