Re: Superfetation or severe IUGR??From: Len2976@aol.comMon Feb 26 16:57:05 2001
I have found that about 50% of patients actually do the opposite of what they say they'd do after getting abnormal amnio results. I've had patients who said they'd NEVER terminate change their minds when faced with the reality of a handicapped child. On the other hand, I've had patients who said they "didn't want it if it wasn't normal" change their minds and welcome an infant with Down Syndrome. You never know what someone will actually do until they're faced with the actual decision. In the past coupld of years, I've also had patients get what I call "ambiguous disgnoses." These are women who got amniocentesis to rule out a severely handicapped infant and then learned the baby had an extra sex chromosome (XXX, XXY, or XYY). In most cases they chose to continue the pregnancy. One family with an XYY fetus, decided to terminate. Lenora McCall, CNM

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.
