I listen to FHTs with my stethescope after 20 weeks and hand the earpiece to the woman (and her children and spouse) to listen. But I agree with you, listening for heart tones is only an exercise in reassurance for the mom. ( I have worked with people who carefully write down the rate! ) There is a certain comfort in the ritual. And touching the woman's belly, especially when I listen with the stethescope and do Leopolds, has it's "healing arts" value. It is part of establishing a therapeutic relationship.

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.
