This is the same group that keeps pouring over the great stats they keep in Scotland; they were the first to show increased maternal mortality with VBACS. As for increased stillbirth with previous c-section I would like to see if they controlled for c-sections not done for CPD, stillbirth rates in moms done for gestional diabetes, hypertension, lupus etc.. will be higher in subsequent pregnancies regardless of mode of delivery. The U.K used to be one of the last bastions of low c-section rates in the west how the mighty have fallen into the medic legal quagmire.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
