EBB 353 - Mini Q & A on Induction for IVF, Peanut Balls, and D-MER

In this mini Q&A, Dr. Rebecca Dekker digs into the evidence on three important questions submitted by EBB Pro Members. Tune in as we explore:
  • The evidence on peanut balls during early and active labor—do they really shorten labor and increase vaginal birth rates?
  • Whether induction at 39 weeks is necessary for IVF pregnancies—what does the research actually say?
  • Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER)—what is it, what causes it, and how can parents cope?
