In this episode, Cara and Missi help to explain the new (read 2011) criteria for defining labor progress based on the Zhang research. Moving past the 1954 research from Friedman, the new labor curve suggests that we maintain more flexible parameters for defining labor progress than can help to decrease c-section rate. This episode also discusses the new literature on pitocin in latent and active phase, as well as pit breaks and adjunct therapies that may be effective.
