Yes, I would say it is long, keeping in mind that it is a first time vaginal birth and includes emotional counseling to begin effective pushing. For a good portion of that time she "thought" she was pushing hard enough. Progress determines our actions more than time does.

>Have you got plenty of quicker dilatations? Of course we do. Most labors I attend are pretty straight forward. VBAC birthers are the higher risk woman among our low risk clientele. Alana

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.
