Sure there is: blood loss is 100%

In many cases blood loss (especially with scheduled C/S prior to labor) is much less with cesarean than with vaginal delivery.

. Pain is 100%. Prolonged (compared to vaginal birth) disability must approach 100%. Scarring is 100%.

Do you dispute that these are morbidities?

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.
