Babies DO need to take that "initial, shocking breath" rather quickly -- and are brought into air right away. It took a long time to convince me to agree to do a waterbirth for a client. The published stats of various sites finally convinced me of its safety.... I've done many now and am VERY impressed with how pleased the mothers (and the babies) are with it! You might look up a report by Michael Rosenthal in "THE FEMALEPATIENT/vol.16/August 1991. <pg40>Warm-Water Immersion in Labor and Birth"....This article also includes the statistics for apprroximately 1400 women who labored in the water, and 679 births occuring in the tub. and Water Birth: One Birthing Center's Observations by Linda Church in Journal Of Nurse-Midwifery Vol.34, No $.

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.
