Not a horrible experience at all. Everything up through the pulling of the cervidil happened before I arrived yesterday AM, so that's where I got involved. When I actually got time to go in and check her, she was 9. Other than a little nervousness around the decels she had while pushing, I enjoyed the morning immensely.

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.
