Your doctor will ask about your medical history, diet and lifestyle, use of birth control methods, past pregnancies, and family health. Your honest and open answers will help you increase the chance of a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. . .

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.
