EP 317: Cannabis for Pregnancy and Motherhood with Sydney Parlier

In this episode, Elizabeth is talking all about what 1 hospital did to take their cesarean rate from 28.9% to 12.2% in 12 months. It is important to shed light on this since our cesarean rate is much higher than what the WHO calls for. Cesareans are necessary about 10-15% of the time in the United States, yet they are happening over 33% of the time. This means that about two-thirds of the cesareans taking place are preventable.  Connect with Liz  https://www.instagram.com/esandoz/?hl=en https://www.Elizabethjoy.co Get the First Trimester Survival Guide https://elizabethjoy.co/freebie Join the Waitlist  https://elizabethjoy.co/join-waitlist Sponsors: Go to jennikayne.com and use the code JOY to get 15% off Resources:  https://evidencebasedbirth.com/evidence-on-inducing-labor-for-going-past-your-due-date/  https://evidencebasedbirth.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Inducing-for-Due-Dates-Handout.pdf Episode 310 with Dr. K - High-Risk OBGYN  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-310-conversations-with-a-high-risk-obgyn-dr-k/id1343507855?i=1000647886023 EP 305: Vaginal Births after Cesareans (VBAC) with Hannah Gill  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-305-vaginal-births-after-cesareans-vbac-with-hannah-gill/id1343507855?i=1000643327228 EP 240: The VBAC Link with Megan Heaton  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-240-the-vbac-link-with-megan-heaton/id1343507855?i=1000583641739 EP 314: Homebirth Transfer Birth Story with Dr. Maggie Hill  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-314-homebirth-transfer-birth-story-with-dr-maggie-hill/id1343507855?i=1000651115226 https://evidencebasedbirth.com/arrive/  https://www.midwiferytoday.com/mt-articles/more-evidence-to-avoid-hospital-birth/  https://www.ontariomidwives.ca/sites/default/files/Clinical%20Topics/Impacts%20of%20the%20ARRIVE%20trial-PUB.pdf  https://www.downtobirthshow.com/182-labor-induction-risks-reasons-and-results-with-dr-rachel-reed-phd/ https://www.birthinginstincts.com/blog/creating-more-questions
