Learn why Rachel’s delivery room scene on “Friends” qualifies as “the most unrealistic birth
ever.” Myra J. Wick, M.D., Ph.D., Mayo Clinic obstetrician, gynecologist, and medical
geneticist joins co-hosts Angela Mattke, M.D., and Nipunie Rajapakse M.D. to guide you
through the reality of labor (vaginal or C section), including:
* Why you should expect to get an IV
* Why your birth team may include up to 10 people in scrubs
* Whether it’s okay to eat and drink during labor
* Why things get messy (vomiting, pooping) and that’s actually fine
* How you can prepare for effective pushing
* What to do to prevent vaginal tearing
