But Betsy, she was a MULTIP! Don't you know that's a RISK FACTOR for SHOULDER DYSTOCIA? You should have sectioned that lady!

BTW, pecipitous birth has also been reported to be a risk factor for shoulder dystocia.

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.
