When I get asked Zach's question, I offer that ultimately, the choice boils down to which bad outcome the couple finds least palatable... miscarriage of a wanted pregnancy or raising a child with lifelong disabilities. I also relate my personal series of one ... we had amnio with our last child ... who just graduated college in May. Of course that's just my opinion ... I could be wrong.

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.
