Linda, about 10 years ago Marveen Craig published a collection of opinions on this subject in the JDMS. Of those who responded to Marveen’s survey there were many opinions, but most seem to think that the spouse or anyone the woman wants with her should be allowed; assuming they could be quite and not be a distraction. Distracting questions or children seemed to be the strongest argument against.

But most seem to think that if the news is good, then the woman’s companion(s) could celebrate with her; and if the news was bad, she would need all the support she could get. This is also my personal opinion on the issue.

This is a simple description of the many varied opinions. Hope it helps. Terry

allowing spouses in the ultrasound suite with his wife to watch the ultrasound be it only a survey , etc. Should we make them sit out and then if there is nothing wrong allow them in; or let them in the room from the start, and if there is an abnormality or worse a demise. Let the couple in retrospect take comfort in the fact that;( even if at the time of actual scanning they weren`t informed untilafterward from the attending physician that there was a problem with baby); at least they were together and as a couple found out together? i know this an area of disagreement among the Ultrasound community, but when we take into account that this really a time of when Fathers` have more legal rights to their own biological children than ever before, it is an issue that deserves consideration; and not just "this is the way it has always been." > Thank you all - I will be looking forward to any comments .

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.
