Oh, give it a few years and then there will be lawsuits seeking recompense for damages ...doesn't matter if there are or are not, we can expect creativity....noting the lack of appropriate informed consent and neglect of some (possibly to be determined) duty to warn. That ought to get the pendulum back the other way. ... and then there can be signs re "your vagingal birth, my pelvic relaxation'.... and so it goes.

My next to the last scheduled C/section (number three) ended up with a small amniotic fluid embolism, DIC, Supracervical Hysterectomy, 12 units of blood, 6 units of frozen plasma, 18 units of platelets with a intraop consult from our hematologist and 2 days in the ICU. Patient and baby did fine. I did worse.Another interesting thing about VBAC & choices - In some areas, women cannot choose VBAC as an option, yet we are now promoting "patient choice" as the reason for scheduling primary elective C/S. Both VBAC and C/S are not without risks - yet in one circumstance, we are allowing women to make a choice, and in another we don't.

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.
