If one is very certain of dates and everything preceeds normally, they are not necessary (only had one with my second kid, and only because fundal height was lagging more than 4 cm---U/S showed a perfectly normal baby who weighed 7lb 3 oz at birth, instead of 10 lb like his older brother). Women are pretty much required to have the recommended blood tests in this country, and most do, though I don't know how things stand in the homebirth community these days with regard to blood tests. -- Anna Meenan, MD At Thu, 24 Nov 2005, GA12L@aol.com wrote: > >Unless they don't want them.

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.
