Ep 99: Birth Terms to be Familiar with (Part 2/4)

In part 2 of our perinatal vocabulary series, we’re focusing on terms you might hear as you get closer to birth.  And although these might be birth terms, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with them during your pregnancy as well.  This just helps you be better prepared and to communicate effectively with your birth team.  Definitely listen to part 1 which gives some great organ and organ system definitions, and we’ll build on those definitions as we discuss things like:

Rupture of membranes

Prodromal labor

Braxton-Hicks contractions 

Episiotomy

Oxytocin

Failure to progress 

And more!
