Another week of nights, but this week was not-so-fun. This video has a fun little demo of umbilical cord prolapse, which is an obstetric emergency! One of the many things that can happen during birth that requires immediate intervention and one reason why I don't recommend home births. I also share my superstitions with you! Please enjoy and leave a comment so we can catch up!
