Hi, lovely ladies. My name is Nicole and I'm a dula. So I wanted to know the evidence behind cords being wrapped around babies neck multiple times in connection with not being able to progress in labor.

Hi, I'm calling with a question about the use of medical induction for IUGR.

I have found very little information on what the proper protocol should be for true IUGR.

Yeah, maybe because women became really informed and started declining inductions for big babies,

you know, believing that it was that it was a bullshit. And so they had to

find something new. Now it's little babies. Now we have to mark the episode explicit. Thank you very

much. We need more explicit episodes. I'm Cynthia Overgard, owner of hypnoborthing of Connecticut,

childbirth advocate, and postpartum Support Specialist.

And I'm Tresha Ludwig, certified nurse midwife and international board-certified lactation consultant.

And this is the Down to Birth podcast.

Childbirth is something we're made to do.

But how do we have our safest and most satisfying

experience in today's medical culture? Let's dispel the myths and get down to birth.

Welcome to the July, hot, steamy July, Q&A.

Summer is here.

Are you stopping yourself from talking about the weather?

Yes.

You feel it.

You launch me so badly.

It's okay.

It's going to be okay.

We're just going to proceed through this awkward moment of not discussing the weather since you hate that.
