Actually ... I started to do that and said to myself - wait a minute this isn't what it looks like... so out came the suture - look oer the anatomy and start suturing again.

before I learned to go up higher for when whe's full dilation / pushing 2-4 hours - there were times when it was hard to tell where the cervix ends and the vagina begins.

C-hysts were fun too - on finding the bottom of the cervix / top of vagina.

There was a transverse ridge in this area which fooled us both into thinking that we were suturing the upper to the lower edges. Has anyone else seen this happen?

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.
