<<I think we all need to get away from the idea of trying to tell woman what they want or should have or not have. Give them the information, include the risks, benefits, side effects and let them be the decision makers. After all it is their body and their baby. My goal is only to guide them through in the hopes of increasing the chances for a healthy baby and a healthy mom.>>

This is the approach we try to use with our clients. Unfortunately, many women seem to want to be told what to do, and go along with that, rather than wanting to hear the risks....But still I will persist and try to give them the power, as best I can.

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.
