next pregnancy? -
> presuming she has the same uterine muscle wall ;-) Good point. She probably would be sensitized to that without me reminding her. However, I can't recall offhand someone returning for an amnio after miscarrying after a prior amnio. Possibly because once bitten, twice shy. But if she did return my present thought is to suggest there may be an increased risk, but I would hedge because we can't know whether the miss would have occured anyway. A supplemental question: what do you quote as the background miscarriage rate at 16 weeks? We quote 1/50, but I've often thought that this might be too high. Allen. H.

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.
