  • Super informative

    After years of working on mother/baby in the same hospital as Dr. Abdelhak I’m finally understanding the method to his madness and it works!! The way him and Kristin simplify and explain why things are done a certain way, makes you wonder why it’s not being done that way everywhere else. A great listen & a great practice!

  • Labor Nurse

    I am a labor and delivery nurse and I really love this show; I listen to this podcast on the way to and from work everyday. Even after 10 years of working on high volume, high risk labor units I still learn something new from every single show. I only wish that every OB provider was as logical and evidence based as these two … the world would be a much better place for it. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, knowledge, and unique perspectives with all of us.

He is truly the forefront of obstetrics and deserves an award for his innovative, compassionate medical pe... more

  • As an OB nurse educator…

    I cannot recommend this podcast enough! I have almost 11 years experience in hospital high risk OB and these episodes are spot on. I’ve enjoyed listening and learning to these two.

    Next group of students I have, I’m going to use these podcasts as a fun post-conference activity.
