Perhaps this would be a proper question to be answered aboard the MIR or the space shuttle... It would be interesting to see the effects of weightlessness not only on the sacrum during delivery, but on the birthing process as well... One could picture the opposing forces at work, mother and child spinning freely,, tethered by the umbilicus, each orbiting amongst the sea of amnion.... The "Blue Danube" plays in the background, as in Kubrick's 2001.. Your points are well taken, and you provide an excellent example of pseudoscience at its best. To apply a number (however speculative) makes it "scientific", to publish and cite same makes it "official", and to polish it and put it on the Web makes it available and marketable...but not necessarily so... GIGO (p<.05). Question...if the natural state of being at term allows for such a pronounced degree of sacral deflection, how can term pregnant women walk, climb stairs, lie down or squat for ANY length of time without completely falling apart ??? The mysteries of motherhood... > > -- Wondering instead of working through lunch today... Next message: Ron Helm: "Re: At-term sacroiliac motion and shoulder dystocia" Previous message: Arthur W.

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.
