Ashley Hill: "Re: CNM Cases" Reply: D. Ashley Hill: "Re: CNM Cases" This is the positive effect of Bradley and other more radical childbirth instructors - patients used to have to fight for the right NOT to have a shave prep and enema, to get out of bed during labor, to have intermittent monitoring. Who has mellowed, the Bradley instructors or the medical providers? Now that we have become less rigid, I find that they have responded in kind. -- Fran Wilson, CNM Wild Rose Women's Clinic Kennewick, WA >From the patients I've seen in the last few years, the Bradley instructors (at least in our area) seem to have mellowed. In the early 1980's they were extremely demanding and took a lot of patience to work with. The patients used to come to us both in the hospital and office with a list of demands. Now the lists they have include things we do for all of our patients--no shave, enema, heparin lock as opposed to an IV, hold the baby after birth, etc. I haven't seen anyone insist they they not take pitocin, antibiotics, analgesia under any circumstances.

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.
