Chiefly Southern U.S. birthed, birth·ing, births To deliver (a baby). To bear (a child). [Middle English, probably of Scandinavian origin. See bher-1 in Indo-European Roots.] Regional Note: Until recently the use of birth as a verb meaning “to bear (a child)” has been confined to Southern speech: “Heap o' good it do a woman to birth a mess o' young uns and raise 'em and then have 'em all go off to oncet” (Marjorie K. Rawlings). Recently, however, the nonstandard Southern usage has coincided with widespread usage of verbs derived from nouns, such as parent, network, and microwave. Birth in this new usage is most commonly found in its present participial form and is used as an adjective in compounds such as birthing center.

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.
