Allan -----Original Message----- From: Ina May Gaskin <inamaygaskin@gmail.com> To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L <ob-gyn-l@mail.obgyn.net> Sent: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 2:13 pm Subject: Still another GOOD DAY Mine actually happened on the 3rd, the due date of 25 year old primip, whose mom was a client of mine for 2 of her kids. They asked for a late transfer to my care because of a persistent complete breech lie. External version by ob.gyn was tried but failed. I also tried and failed. Next, 2 of my ob.gyn consultants tried and failed. But they gave their blessings to a home birth for this young woman. So we did it. Her mom, BTW, is also an MD (FP who does ob and c-secs). Outcome: 8 hour labor, 8.5 lb. boy, intact perineum, Apgars 7 & 9 (1 and 5 min.). Call us lucky, irresponsible, etc., but we're all pretty euphoric still, and I'd do it again for a mom like this if she needed me to. It can be fun not to stitch. He wasn't even a tight squeeze after he got about 5 oz. meconium out. Mom said she wasn't impressed with pain, except for her back and it was so satisfying when he came out. I'm so glad I learned to assist at these when it was still possible. I hope that it will someday be possible again. Baby latched 35 minutes later.? ? Greetings to all,? ? Ina May? Next message: D.

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.
