I meant hysterectomies, prolapses or urinary stress incontinence vaginal procedures. If you have the "go" from the orthopod then go.

Pain management considerations were not unusual, with respect to the labour. Other than avoiding abducting the thighs (which overly rotates the hip) or an extreme McRobert's position (knee no > 90 degrees at the hip) in order to avoid injuring the hip, it should not be any problem. In addition, she doubts that there is much literature on labour/birth and double hip replacements, since it is a procedure not typically seen in young, healthy childbearing women.

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.
