The following statements concerning preterm labour are correct :
1. Maternal administration of steroids is contraindicated in cases with prolonged rupture of membranes. (false)
2. Women with a history of subfertility have an increased risk. (false)

I THINK YOUR ANS. ARE CORRECT.
MATERNAL STEROIDS ARE CONTRAINDICATED IN THJE PRESENCE OF SYSTEMIC INFECTION OR POORLY CONTROLLED DIABETES.PRESENCE /ABSENCE OF MEMBRANES IS NOT A FACTOR.
WOMAN WITH H/O SUBFERTILITY-NOT ALL ARE AT RISK .IT DEPENDS ON THE CAUSE OF SUBFERTILITY.
I READ THAT IN PRETERM LABOUR NEONATAL OUTCOME IS NOT AFFECTED BY MODE OF DELIVERY.OTHER FACTORS HAVE TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
