A Step 2 CK–focused lesson on the hypertensive-disorders-of-pregnancy spectrum — diagnostic criteria, severe features, magnesium prophylaxis, acute BP control, and delivery timing — built around the \"next best step\" the boards test.

A Step 2 CK lesson on normal labor and the stages of delivery: the three stages with their board-tested time limits, the current ACOG 6 cm active-phase threshold and arrest criteria, distinguishing protraction from arrest, the cardinal movements, fetal deceleration interpretation (VEAL CHOP), and the "next best step" for stalled labor and non-reassuring tracings.

High-yield Step 2 CK review of routine prenatal care: the screening timeline by gestational age, aneuploidy/NTD serum-marker patterns, and next-best-step management for gestational diabetes, group B Strep, and Rh isoimmunization.

A Step 2 CK–focused walkthrough of gestational diabetes: hPL-driven insulin resistance, the two-step vs one-step screening/diagnosis pathway, diet-then-insulin management with glucose targets, and delivery/postpartum decisions — anchored by the classic board discriminator that GDM (unlike pregestational DM) causes no congenital anomalies. Every cutoff and next-best-step verified against ACOG standards.

A board-focused breakdown of the two classic causes of third-trimester bleeding — painless placenta previa vs. painful placental abruption — covering risk factors, presentation, the no-vaginal-exam-before-ultrasound rule, and next-best-step management, plus vasa previa and placenta accreta spectrum as don't-miss differentials.

A Step 2 CK–focused lesson on postpartum hemorrhage built around the 4 T's, emphasizing bedside uterine assessment, uterotonic contraindications, and next-best-step management from massage through hysterectomy.

A board-focused walkthrough of abnormal labor — the 3 Ps, protraction versus arrest criteria (including the ≥200 MVU rule and when to choose cesarean over oxytocin) — paired with NICHD fetal heart rate interpretation, the three decelerations, and their next-best-step management.

High-yield STEP 2 CK lesson on preterm labor and PROM/PPROM: confirm the diagnosis at the bedside, then choose the next-best step by gestational age and infection status, anchored on the recurring answer set of corticosteroids, magnesium, GBS prophylaxis, and latency antibiotics. Draft was clinically strong; corrections tightened the indomethacin adverse-effect profile, specified betamethasone for the late-preterm course, clarified intrapartum GBS dosing, and added anaerobic coverage for chorioamnionitis at cesarean.
