What I’m Reading

Third stage of labor is not my particular area of expertise, but I recently ran across an in-depth expert review published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and thought it was both interesting and worth sharing.

What I’m Watching

In the inaugural August newsletter (get a copy here), I brought attention to newer evidence related to marked variability. I was blown away by the recent AWHONN “Read Between the Lines” Webinar by Lisa-Marie S. Cook and Megan Beglin. This deep dive into the history and evidence related to marked variability is a must-view for every nurse, midwife, and physician working with EFM.
