Watchful waiting of a fetus with zone III amniotic fluid values.
A case of Rh negative, sensitized patient was observed while her amniotic fluid values climbed through zone III of Liley's graph. The fetus was monitored weekly with ultrasound and delivered when it had a mature lung profile. It is not always necessary to proceed with immediate fetal therapy whenever amniotic fluid values are in zone III.
