What is SSE in obstetrics?

A visual examination of the vagina and cervix done during labor to determine if there is any amniotic fluid in the vault. The test is performed to identify the presence of premature rupture of membranes. A speculum, rather than a gloved hand, is inserted into the vaginal introitus and the cervix is identified.

How do you perform a vaginal exam when pregnant?

It involves a vaginal examination, by placing 2 gloved fingers through the opening of the cervix and then separating the membranes or sac (holding the waters and baby), from their slight attachment to the lower segment of the uterus.
