The 1st ultrasound found what appears to be a heart defect, abnormal posterior fossa, and polysystic kidney disease. I had a 2nd ultrasound at the University of Michigan Hospital, and they were unable to find all of those abnormilties. They only saw the oligohydramnios.

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.
