Nancy leads us thru some research:
**********************************************

Presumably the
onset of the change from Cl secretion to Na  absorption occurs in a
period before onset of clinical labor (Strang's work  on fetal lung fluid
flux shows that best - late 70's and early 80's),  though I did some of
that also both at UNC and when I was a  fellow.


************************************************
Nancy, this is incredibly fascinating!  My question is, given this  statement
-- occurs in a period before the onset of clinical labor -- would that  be
impacted by elective induction in any way, since the body doesn't actually
prepare to go into labor?
