Re: Twin gestationFrom: Andrew Folley (agfolley@hotmail.com)Tue Nov 13 11:25:27 2007
Viability means in general "capacity for survival" and is more specifically used to mean a capacity for living, developing, or germinating under favorable conditions. The word is especially used in the following contexts: pregnancy, viability refers to either: an early stage pregnancy that has a chance of reaching full-term and a live birth (as opposed to, for example, an ectopic pregnancy); or the shortest length of pregnancy after which a child born prematurely has a chance of survival. Generally, this ranges from 20-27 weeks Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 08:13:28 -0600From: rd.braun@gmail.comTo: ob-gyn-l@dns.obgyn.netSubject: Re: Twin gestationNo 9 week fetus is viable.

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.
