It is irrelevant whether you believe that it is low risk. It isn't. Similarly I have never heard anyone anywhere say that a 3 1/2 hour second stage is "nothing unreasonable". Perinatal Mortality is directly proportional to length of second stage, and in your case could quite reasonably be the culprit. On 27 Oct 2000, at 22:31, Alana A.

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.
