Second Stage of Labor - What Happens When You're 10 cm Dilated
Today, we are joined by Dr. Kirstin Leitner, an Ob/Gyn, who answers our questions about what happens when we are 10 cm dilated, or what we call "the second stage of labor."
Join us on our podcast website, where we have the transcript for the following questions:
1)What is the second stage of labor and how long does it take?
2)What can patients expect as they are giving birth?
3)What are episiotomies, and do we still cut them?
4)Why do mom and baby need to be monitored during second stage of labor?
5)Why do some people need assisted vaginal delivery or cesarean section?
6)What can patients expect after the baby is delivered?
