RE<<<There is the theory that a fetus can have a serious hypoxic or asphyxia insult in utero sufficient to cause neurologic damage...(of course, we would never know if there was no neurologic sequelae) at some point in pregnancy, and then recover so that birth values look normal<<

Isn't this thought to be what harms a drug/cocaine baby? Small strokes ect occuring in pregnancy -- the baby recovers, has a normal birth but still shows damage?

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.
