Episode 4.7 Gases, Marijuana, Sugar, Milking, and Other Things?

In this episode, we discuss the utility of cord blood gases. Then we discuss the impact of THC exposure during pregnancy. Plus, new studies about cord milking, tighter glycemic control during pregnancy, the effects of maternal infection on the development of autism, appropriate dosing of Lovenox after Cesarean, dermatoses of pregnancy, and the metabolomic profile of hormonal IUDs.
