No adult who is considered competent would be allowed to be coerced in this way. It's disgusting and it's NOT informed consent if she did consent after being coerced in this way. Our OBs do suggest epidurals but only 'in case...' and they certainly don't ask family to persuade the woman to have one. But that's for high(er) risk labours, they never see anything normal. 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.
