1. i have the distinct impression that postpartum bleeding is less after misoprostol. hard to prove. anyone else have same impression? might be valuable to study.

2. while waiting the other night, as usual,for the placenta to deliver after a preterm birth (seems like they take forever), i had the bright idea to give her an oral dose of misoprostol. great effect, little bleeding. have others done this (?routinely instead of pit?)?

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.
