Traditionally, we have learned that any imbalance in the estrogen: progesterone relationship can trigger irregular uterine bleeding. That makes sense, right? During anovulation, prolonged unopposed estrogen can result in HMB. In such a case, we give progesterone as both a therapeutic as well as diagnostic intervention. On the contrary, with progestin only contraception, we consider estrogen predominant products when progesterone breakthrough bleeding (BTB) occurs to restore endometrial stabilization. But a new RCT (AJOG) adds credence to adding MORE progesterone in cases of progesterone associated BTB. Listen in for details.1. Zigler RE, Madden T, Ashby C, Wan L, McNicholas C.

Routine vaginal examinations (VEs) are a standard component of intrapartum care, traditionally performed at regular intervals to monitor cervical dilation, effacement, and fetal station, which are indicators of labor progression. Yet, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states that there is insufficient evidence to recommend a specific frequency for cervical examinations during labor, and examinations should be performed as clinically indicated. Now, a recently published RCT form AJOG MFM is adding additional credence to that. Can we space out clinical exams in otherwise “low-risk” laboring women to 8 hours? Listen in for details. 1.

Meal planning and preparation services can enhance the doula support options you provide to clients. However, doulas must consider regulations, logistics, and business implications before jumping in. Understanding the difference between meal planning and meal preparation is essential. Each service offers unique benefits for families. It is critical to understand the local cottage food laws and regulations in your community. These rules directly affect how and where meals can be prepared. It is also important to weigh the pros and cons of preparing meals in a client's home versus preparing them in your own when legality is not a factor in this decision. Tax implications, such as transaction privilege tax, are another factor to consider. These details can significantly impact the pricing and profitability of the meal services you offer. Join us for a practical conversation that explores opportunities, responsibilities, and business realities when offering meal planning and prep services.

In the last 2 episodes we covered new updates in menopausal hormone therapy. However, we did not address TESTOSTERONE use. This episode idea comes from one our podcast family members and good friend, Eric. Eric is 100% correct: Testosterone replacement, when done correctly, has come along way. When is this indicated? Is this endorsed by professional medical/endocrine groups? What's the dose? We have fun stuff to review, so listen in!1.

Cesarean Delivery: Major Abdominal SurgeryWelcome back to The Critical Care Obstetrics Podcast with hosts Suzanne McMurtry Baird (Nursing Director) and Stephanie Martin (Medical Director) of Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics.In this episode, we explore why cesarean delivery is not just another routine procedure—but truly a major abdominal surgery. While C-section is the most common surgical procedure performed in U.S. hospitals, its seriousness is often overlooked because of its frequency. We discuss:Why 1 in 3 births by cesarean should not normalize the risksThe role of evidence-based practices: avoiding the first cesarean, neuraxial anesthesia, infection prevention, and family-centered careWhat makes it a major surgery: open abdomen, incision types, considerations in obese patients, and classical cesarean challengesSafety for mothers, babies, and support persons in the ORCommon complications including VTE, infection and sepsis, blood loss, injury to other organs, and the rising risk of placenta accreta spectrumWe also highlight our new lecture in the Postpartum Course covering PACU care and Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean, including RN qualifications, complication management, and communication essentials.

A dedicated office space for a doula business can bring professionalism, visibility, and a central hub for meetings and classes. It can also come with significant costs and added responsibilities. Understanding the pros and cons is essential before making the investment. Calculating the potential return on investment provides a clear picture of whether it is a worthwhile investment. It is important to weigh costs such as rent, utilities, insurance, and furnishings. Compare them to potential income, client convenience, and growth opportunities. Carefully exploring these factors can reveal if an office space for your doula business will truly support long-term goals. It may also show if your resources are better used elsewhere. Join us as we discuss location evaluation, shared versus private spaces, and creative ways to maximize usage. Learn how to align your decision with your overall business strategy.

Thank goodness for William Morton and Horace Wells- pioneers in anesthesia. Anesthesia has come a long way since them and there is even a professional medical society for OB anesthesia called SOAP. Today, August 07, 2025, there is a new Clinical Expert Series which was just released in the Green Journal. That publication (which is ahead of print) is titled, Key Management Considerations in Obstetric Anesthesiology, is our episode focus. Can you safely have an epidural placed if the patient has platelets under 100K? Can labor epidurals cause pyrexia alone? Do labor epidurals slow labor? Listen in for details. 1.

The unexpected sight of blood when you're eight years post-menopause can trigger immediate alarm bells. That's exactly what happened to me in September 2024, launching me on a journey that ultimately led to having a hysterectomy at age 55.This very personal episode takes you through my complete hysterectomy experience – from the shocking discovery of post-menopausal bleeding to my recovery two weeks after robotic laparoscopic surgery. I share the medical investigations that revealed my significantly thickened uterine lining (likely caused by previous Tamoxifen treatment for Breast Cancer), the decision-making process that led to surgery, and exactly what happened during my hospital stay.You'll hear all the details about my physical recovery and my gradual return to movement and normal activities. I discuss my frustrations with vague post-surgery exercise guidelines and how I advocated for more personalised recovery information as someone who regularly engages in heavy resistance training.Throughout this episode, I emphasise that while I'm sharing my story to help others, everyone's hysterectomy journey is unique. Your body, your choices, and your recovery will follow their own path. I've included practical tips about freezing meals before surgery, focusing on healing nutrition, and the importance of gentle movement in recovery.This is the first in what will be a five-part series documenting my hysterectomy journey, with future episodes at weeks 4, 6, 9 and 12 post-surgery.If you're facing a hysterectomy, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about what this experience entails, I hope my candid sharing provides insight, reassurance, and perhaps some practical guidance for your journey.You can send me any questions or share your story with me on my Instagram @sonyalovell or email sonya@sonyalovell.comResources:Sonya Lovell on InstagramTamoxifen and Uterine Lining ACOG paperJournal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology paperThank you for listening to my show!

Working with clients who hold status, whether they are medical providers, influencers, politicians, or public figures, can present unique opportunities and challenges for doulas. Supporting high-visibility clients while maintaining the same standards of care, boundaries, and intent you offer every other family may not come as easily as you think. While there are potential benefits of these connections, there can also be stumbling blocks. It can be tempting to hope for public praise or referrals from influencers, but doulas must not bank on that exposure or let it influence their role. Confidentiality is non-negotiable, and these clients deserve the same privacy, respect, and space to be vulnerable without fear of judgment. Join us for a candid and professional conversation about supporting clients with influence, while staying grounded in ethics, integrity, and the heart of doula work.

Did you know that environmental factors, rather than hereditary factors, are taking the lead in driving illness and early mortality? That shift is primarily due to the harm caused by corporations and their products, says Dr. Tracey Woodruff, PhD, MPH, a professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Services at the University of California, San Francisco, and Director of the Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment and the new Center to End Corporate Harm. A world-recognized expert and scientist who studies how exposures to environmental chemicals affect children's development and health and translates scientific findings to improve clinical care. Dr. Woodruff previously served as a scientist and policy advisor in the US EPA Office of Policy. During our discussion, we discussed how the current administration's policy will make people sicker. She noted the potential benefit of the MAHA Commission Report, which brings attention to the health harms from chemicals. Still, at the same time, the administration is eliminating funding and rules that protect people from exposure to harmful chemicals in air, food, and water. Unlike RFK Jr., she is solidly pro-vaccine. Dr. Woodruff stated that a third of deaths globally were associated with five commercial products, according to data from WHO and other sources listed in the resources below: 1) Tobacco; 2) Alcohol; 3) Sugar and ultra-processed food; 4) Toxic Chemicals; 5) Fossil Fuels/ Air Pollution. Citizens and Private Foundations must step up since the Trump administration is intent on helping irresponsible corporations. We MUST look to healthcare experts like Dr. Woodruff who rely on sound science and solid research. This is a vitally important interview! Learn more about your ad choices.

What's best for skin closure at C-Section? Staples or suture? This debate has raged for over 20 years. Past data has shown greater odds of wound complications with metal staples compared to suture. But new a meta-analysis from June 2025 is challenging the prior results. In this episode, we will explore the data from 2010 to present day. PLUS, we will summarize a separate meta-analysis examining if wound dressing removal is tied to any wound complication. This was just published July 15, 2025 in the “Pink” journal.

What is selective bias, and how does it show up in our work as doulas? We all interpret and retain information in ways that align with our pre-existing beliefs, often unknowingly dismissing data that challenges our biases. From interpreting research to making decisions in birth spaces, selective bias can shape the care we provide and can influence the experiences of our clients. As doulas, we have a responsibility to recognize and confront our own biases, especially when it comes to topics like interventions and birth preferences. Are you open to thinking critically about your own biases, considering how they affect your practice, and exploring ways to actively seek out diverse perspectives?  Join us for an honest conversation about learning and growing in our doula practice, and how embracing discomfort can lead to more effective, unbiased support for the families we serve.

Unveiling Hormone Secrets: Balancing Health with Dr. Edward Eckert Hormonify.com About the Guest(s): Dr. Edward Eckert is a renowned expert with over 30 years of experience in women's health and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. A board-certified OB-GYN by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Eckert received his training at Emory University, the University of Florida, and New York University's affiliated hospital. He graduated from the Medical College of Wisconsin and founded the Menopause Institute in 1994 to delve into menopause research. Dr. Eckert later created HormoneModify.com to focus on personalized bioidentical hormone treatments. Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of the Chris Voss Show, Dr. Edward Eckert shares his wealth of knowledge on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and the intricacies of balancing hormones for both men and women. The discussion delves deep into the flawed perceptions and misinformation surrounding menopausal symptoms and hormone imbalances that prevail even in today's medical practices. Dr. Eckert candidly demystifies concepts like perimenopause and underscores the critical nature of hormone balance at all ages. Dr. Eckert provides a comprehensive look at the realities of hormone imbalances and the impact on both physical and mental health. He explains how he dedicated years to develop scientifically-backed, individualized hormone treatments. This fascinating dialogue explores how imbalanced hormones can manifest as anxiety, depression, weight issues, and more. Dr. Eckert also shares insights into the influences of external factors like diet and environment on hormone levels, calling attention to modern issues of early menstruation and diminished hormone production due to environmental estrogens. Key Takeaways: Dr. Eckert highlights the inadequacies in traditional hormone treatment methods and emphasizes the need for personalized, well-researched approaches. Hormone imbalances can contribute to a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, mood disorders, osteoporosis, and more, impacting overall health dramatically. The podcast underscores the importance of monitoring hormone levels for both men and women as early as their late 20s if symptoms arise, despite common misconceptions about age-related norms. Environmental influences significantly affect hormone levels, with newer studies indicating the impact of multiple COVID-19 vaccinations on premature hormone deficiencies. Dr. Eckert offers a fresh perspective on menopause and urges individuals to seek expert evaluations to properly address their hormone health concerns. Notable Quotes: "In reality, I see problems that occur could be from adolescent years that progress onto the young reproductive years… there's a trend, and the trend is the ratios of hormones that exist." "What we really do differently is that I spent about 10 years researching the whole aspect of what it takes to balance a woman's hormones." "We have literally tens of thousands of patients all over the world." "We eliminate stage two, three, and four breast cancer. We have zero in 30 years." "One of the most common reasons women come in to see us is that their husbands or boyfriends tell 'em they can't have sex with them."

Doula work can be incredibly rewarding, but it won't be the right fit for everyone. In this episode, we talk openly about why someone shouldn't become a doula. Birth work requires a specific mindset, skills, and responsibilities. Being judgmental, struggling to hold space, or expecting birth work to be all about personal fulfillment can create harm. Becoming a doula means running a doula business, and passion alone isn't enough if you're not prepared to market, manage, and sustain a professional practice. This honest conversation takes a raw and real look at what it takes to be a doula. It is essential to preserve the integrity of the profession and support future doulas in entering the work with clarity and intention. If you or someone you know is considering becoming a doula, this is a must-listen episode.

Abortion wasn't always controversial. In fact, in colonial America it would have been considered a fairly common practice: a private decision made by women, and aided mostly by midwives. But in the mid-1800s, a small group of physicians set out to change that. Obstetrics was a new field, and they wanted it to be their domain—meaning, the domain of men and medicine. Led by a zealous young doctor named Horatio Storer, they launched a campaign to make abortion illegal in every state, spreading a potent cloud of moral righteousness and racial panic that one historian later called "the physicians' crusade." And so began the century of criminalization. This episode originally ran as Before Roe: The Physicians' Crusade.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Second and/or Third trimester vaginal bleeding is a common reason for L&D Triage patient assessment. The evaluation starts with determining the status of maternal hemodynamic stability. This together with IV access are key first steps. This is followed by an assessment of fetal-placental status. Typically this includes bedside ultrasound for fetal position, visual confirmation of FHTs, amniotic fluid determination, and placental location. At the same time, lab data is obtained to guide care: CBC, fibrinogen, type and RH, and possibly type and cross. Do you order a KB test as part of the STANDRAD evaluation for suspected placental abruption? In this episode, we will review a new study released ahead of print on June 8, 2025 in the European J of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Repro Biology. Listen in for details.

Every doula experiences it. The ups and downs of client inquiries and bookings are a normal part of running a doula business. Some months are full, while others feel uncomfortably quiet. There is often a natural ebb and flow of doula work, and it is important to stay grounded when things slow down. What can you do during slower seasons to remain productive and focused? You may start by reflecting on your current marketing strategy and identifying what is working and what needs improvement. Or maybe it's time to refresh your website and social media to reconnect with your community. There are many powerful steps you can take to strengthen your business and support long-term growth.

It's been nearly three years since the Dobbs decision, which the Supreme Court used to strip women of the right to control our own bodies. In that decision—and frequently presented across the ideological spectrum as an alternative to abortion—adoption has been at the forefront of the discussion. But is adoption as benevolent and empowering as it is presented to be?Our guest today argues that it is not—and she's got compelling evidence to back that up. Dr. Gretchen Sisson is a researcher at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco. Her book Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood received a starred review from Publisher's Weekly and much more acclaim.
