Louana.. are you saying that "serious intrapartum complications may arise with little or no warning, even in low risk pregnancies." is a false statement? If you work long enough you will find out how true it is, unfortunately...

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.
