Labor and Delivery: Pt. 1
Two of the women previously introduced are ready to have their babies. Because of their pre-existing conditions and complications associated with their pregnancies, each will have a different childbirth experience. "High Risk OB" will explore some of their challenges including a discussion about weighing the risks of premature delivery versus continuing a tenuous pregnancy as well as the use of medications to induce labor. In addition, the choice of cesarean section or vaginal delivery, based on the clinical state of both the mother and fetus, will be addressed as will pain control techniques for each.
