The latest I heard is that the child will become an emotional genius if also the mother is kept under water for the entire delivery. For pain releaf, use a mixture of O2/N2O instead of the usual O2/N2 in the scuba equipment.

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.
