A 28-year-old G2P1 woman presented to hospital at 40 weeks' gestation for an elective induction of labour at term. Her obstetric history was significant for previous intrauterine growth restriction and a prolonged rupture of membranes. Earlier in this pregnancy, she presented to hospital at 31 weeks' gestation with abdominal pain and was clinically diagnosed with left pyelonephritis. No imaging was performed. Urine culture revealed Escherichia coli but blood cultures were negative.
