In this week’s episode, I am going to answer two questions submitted by mamas to the MLN listener line!!
The first question is from Sarah, who is currently pregnant and looking for more information about placenta previa! I love this question because it is actually pretty common to get told you have a previa at your anatomy scan – but there is still a LOT of time for it to move. Listen in as I answer her question and educate about previas in general!
The second question will have us shifting to postpartum to talk about what’s normal and what’s not when it comes to rib pain after birth.
And if you want to listen to another ask me anything style episode after this one, check out episode EP137: Ask Me Anything About Labor and Delivery!
