Whoa, Baby! Common Questions about Labor, Delivery, and Postpartum

I welcome Labor and Delivery Nurse and Instagram phenom, @mommy.labornurse to discuss your common questions about labor, delivery, and postpartum.

Liesel is also 36 weeks pregnant with her second child at the time of the recording. We discuss how she is approaching her delivery this time around, what she's looking forward to, how she's staying safe being pregnant in a pandemic, what we both wish we had known prior to delivering, and your common questions submitted on my Instagram @pedsdoctalk!

• How best can I advocate for myself during labor, especially during a pandemic? (Ill chime in about COVID precautions)
• What are some C-section must-haves?
• What are some vaginal delivery postpartum must-haves?
• How can I maximize BF success postpartum?
• How to care for stitches postpartum?

Listen is as we have a fun discussion about the joys of pregnancy, delivery, and motherhood!
