I also have to wonder about fathers-in-law and brothers-in-law, although I remember one really wonderful birth... The brother-in-law provided the ride to the hospital. He hadn't intended to be at the birth, nor had the couple planned to have him there. The woman, a primip, progressed quickly and he just never got around to leaving. She was a very active birther, ended up doing a lot of squatting on the bed, with her husband supporting her on one side and the brother-in-law on the other side. The brother-in-law was incredibly moved by the entire experience and in obvious awe of her power. I found myself thinking that the future mother of his children (he was unmarried but lived with a girlfriend) was going to find herself with a very tough act to follow. But I have to agree with you. The presence of close male relatives has enough of a suggestion of incest to make me a little uncomfortable, too. Then I try to tell myself that it is what I'm reading in, not necessarily what is truly there, and that different families may have very different values and mores than I do, and that it's their intimate life experience, not mine.

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.
