EBB 269 - Mini Q & A on Early Newborn Discharge from the Hospital, Vacuum Delivery, and More!

Evidence Based Birth®

In this Mini Q&A episode of the EBB podcast, I will be answering a variety of questions that have recently been asked of us, including: 1. What if my hospital won't let my healthy newborn go home before 48 hours? 2. Are modern ultrasounds better at detecting big babies? 3. What's the maximum time a vacuum can be used during a vacuum assisted delivery? 4. Does EBB have any new resources I should know about? References/Resources:
