F.R.S.C.: "Re: Ob:  Preterm labor" With respect to bedrest, we all know it only treats the doctor and the mother, but not the condition. I suspect that many of us tell patients to curtail activity to some degree, depending on their job/situation. It seems like a reasonable thing for most patients, if only to avoid the guilt of preterm delivery if they DIDN'T limit themselves, though we all tell them that their action (or lack of action) probably makes no difference.

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.
