In this episode, we discuss the value of eating fish during pregnancy and the potential harm of warning women about fish. Plus, we discuss factors driving an increase in maternity deserts in the US and discuss value based care in obstetrics and how that may reverse this dangerous trend. In Part 1 of this discussion, we discuss value decisions at the time of Cesarean, including the Alexis O retractor, the fetal pillow, routine gases and labs, methods for salpingectomy, appropriate lengths of stay, and lots more.
