Re: where the continued pregnancy endangers the life of the woman concernedFrom: doctorjoe@aol.comMon Mar 13 08:52:08 2006
If you don't believe that pregnancy per se endangers a woman's life, you're simply incorrect. A woman with NO risk/health factors is at higher risk of morbidity and mortality if she gets pregnant than if she doesn't. This is simply a fact of life which you ignore at your own (and your patient's) peril.

I think you could be right, it does create a divide. I don't believe that pregnancy endagers a woman's life, per se but that other health factors make a pregnancy risky. In a healthy woman with no existing medical conditions pregnancy would not endanger her life. If pregnancy was a life threatening condition I don't think women would become pregnant. The fact is women are designed to grow and give birth to a baby. Having said that, I am prepared to change my mind if you can offer evidence that pregnancy in a woman with no existing medical conditions is a life threatening condition. Gail

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.
