But Gail, all that gyne stuff aside, I think you're educated more than we are here in CNM school about how to be with a woman in labor Well that's what the word midwife means, 'with woman' and that's what i do. It would also explain why many women I care for have very little pain relief and certainly no epidurals. The only time i care for a woman wit an epidural is if I've taken over from another midwife. I encourage the women to be upright and mobile; to eat and drink freely (you can't run an engine without fuel) and even go home for a while if they want. If they're in the room I am with them showing the partner how to massage; encouraging the woman, and just being there sometimes just sitting doing nothing.

Which is partly why I'd love to get over to the UK or somewhere and follow a midwife around for a few weeks this summer ... and start my birth book. I've told you. I have a spare room in my house, you're welcome any time.

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.
