Episode 1.9 Birth in the Movies, Pieces of a Woman, Ursodiol, and intermittent fetal monitoring

In this episode, we review a recent systematic review of the impact of ursodiol in patients with cholestasis of pregnancy as well as a recent review of the risks and benefits of intermittent fetal monitoring in labor compared to other continuous methods of fetal monitoring.

Then we take a look at the portrayal of childbirth in movies with a discussion of the new Netflix film, Pieces of a Woman. If you want to skip to the movie reviews, that starts at 13:00.
