What about your "duty" to the fetus? The fetus doesn't have any rights. It has rights once it is born but not before. The welfare of the mother always comes first even to the detriment of the health or life of the baby "You mean a chronic paranoid schizophrenic with 2 previous sections,twins, a placenta accreta, pre-eclampsia, and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus can insist on a home delivery?" If she decides on a home birth then who is going to go to her house when in labour and drag her kicking and screaming into hospital. I'm not saying she's right and a paranoid schizo may well be sectioned (not c/sectioned) under the mental health act. But without the mental problems she can do what she likes. We can advise against it until we're blue in the face but the final decision is the woman's. End of... Over here if women make choices then they accept the responsibility for those choices. That's what it's all about. Over there it seems that women are deemed incapable of making an informed decision which is, of course, nonsense. If a woman wants a home birth, or a VBAC or anything for that matter then who says she can't? Who's going to stop her and who is going to police it? The CIA, FBI (Don't know much about either, to me they're just letters)? Gail

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.
