Siegel, M.D.: "Re: 100 lbs wieght gain, o.p. multip" Some people would have done an elective C/S. prior small baby difficult delivery. 100 pound weight gain doubles or triples the likelihood of a failed attempted labor. The only thing worse than doing a C/S on a 250 pound woman is doing a C/S on a 250 pound woman who has been in labor for 24-36 hours. Across the board C/S rates at 250 pounds is 50-60%. That is without looking at the first delivery when she was "skinny". Why do we persist in thinking that C/S is evil. Don't we want the best outcome for everyone?

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.
