Don't see why they would insist on a c-section to the point of court order. This version of the story says mom had had bigger babies vaginally before. Also, as of Friday, they were only considering suing, hadn't actually sued yet.

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.
