I know what full term is, but to electively do something without a clear indication isn't approved or sanctioned by any organization at 38 wks. I know in my gut that this is indicated for her own social reasons, but I know deep down its not at all indicated.

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.
