42 week gestation to 24 yo G1P0 at Army hospital in Yuba City, CA. Long, prodromal first stage, no analgesia, lots of ambulation. Very rapid 2nd stage -- inhalant anesthesia used after the nurse announced that I was a blonde and mother unconscious for the delivery. She is unsure whether I was delivered by the nurse or held in until the doctor arrived. They were holding me back when she went out. She first saw me 4 hours later.

My father was waiting in the waiting room. He claims to have seen a wet, bloody, naked, screaming baby being carried down the hall upside down by its heels, which prompted him to think, "God, I hope mine doesn't look like that!" My mother was then wheeled out through the same door, and he realized the baby he had seen was me.

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.
