Re: Tough labor leaves lasting mark on new moms: studyFrom: Chrisa93@aol.comWed May 25 21:49:02 2005

It marked me as a woman who could do things she never thought she could do. It gave me a level of self-confidence I never had before, in spite of graduating Summa Cum Laud from a competitive University, landing my first choice of medical school, and completing my residency in a program that was referred to at the time as the Marine Corps of family medicine residencies. It gave me the guts to stand up to my kids when they were headed in the wrong direction...>> So, I guess it does matter how a baby is born... Or at least we shouldn't say there is no real difference emotionally for the mom between giving birth vaginally vs. via c/s. While I agree healthy mom/healthy baby is the priority, I DON'T agree is the ONLY concern, as many of you have said. And Anna, I am glad you had such an empowering birth experience.

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.
