And truly (and others will debate this endlessly but I stand firmly by my opinion) you would have to experience labor and vaginal birth to understand what I am trying to say. -- Anna Meenan, MD At Thu, 26 May 2005, DoctorJoe@aol.com wrote: > >In a message dated 5/25/05 10:50:53 PM, cherivh@xdcr.com writes: > >> Beautifully put, Anna.  Giving birth changed me profoundly, too.  It >> made me a better person.  Stronger, saner, more in touch with both the >> physical and spiritual aspects of myself and the world around me.  I >> know I have been a better mother because of the empowerment I received >> through that experience. >> >I never gave birth vaginally.

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.
