Summary
In today's episode, we're diving into a mini Q&A session to address some pressing questions from our incredible EBB Pro Members. We'll explore the risks of radiation exposure during air travel in pregnancy, particularly for airline crew members. Then, we'll discuss the implications of low platelet counts and whether they necessitate induction. Lastly, we'll look at new research on the location of the placenta—whether anterior, posterior or lateral—and its impact on birth experiences. Tune in for evidence-based answers on these important topics!
