"Why do most of these babies with cerebral palsy come from breech deliveries?" I didn't have an answer then and I still don't today. I honestly don't think that abdominal delivery will change that."

and I do agree. I used to teach my students (pathologic obstetrics) that if the good conditions were met (Š) breech delivery, even in primips is not of bad prognosis.

The question was made few years ago: The breeches have lower IQ. Are they like that because of the breech or were they breeches because of their lower IQ ?

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.
