Ep. 318: Screen Time Risks and Rewards with Pediatrician Dr. Joel Warsh aka, DrJoelGator

If you don’t know..you might not get to the hospital and go straight to Labor and Delivery. Sometimes you do, but sometimes you don’t. When you get to the hospital, you will most likely be asked to go to a smaller exam room and the nurse will grab a few vitals like your temperature, your blood pressure, a reading on the electronic fetal monitoring, and a cervical exam. If you need/want an IV placement, now is the time this will happen as well.  If you are going to the hospital for induction, a scheduled c-section, or during transition you will most likely not go to triage. I’m breaking it all down and what to expect upon arrival at the hospital in today’s episode!    A FREE training on HOW TO STAY IN CONTROL DURING LABOR! Brought to you by: The Birth Lounge

From intentionally choosing your birth place to understanding c-section rates in your area, it all plays a role in your birth experience. In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, Dr. Neel Shah dives into what we know about c-sections, why our country has such an astronomical rate of them, and what you can do to decrease your chances of “being sectioned” during labor and delivery. We dive into access (or lack there of) and how this impacts thousand of birth stories each year. Dr. Neel shares how birthing people in rural parts of our country will have different experiences than folks in the cities with better and more abundant access to healthcare. Dr. Neel says, “We know the right mortality rate is zero. We don’t know know the right amount of c-sections..and it’s not zero.” We go deep into cesarean sections being life saving surgery, but also balancing that with medical manipulation. He shares that asking question is a wonderful way to stay in control of your care. Plus, he shares a tidbit about nuchal cords during birth (ie: the cord being wrapped around your baby’s neck).  This episode is a MUST LISTEN if you are having a baby after literally this moment right now.
