Thinking About Ob/Gyn

Episode 8.5 Ultrasounds of Twins, Tongue Ties, and Pap-sploitation


Listen Later

In this episode, we discuss the frequency of Pap smears for twin pregnancies as well as the need for using twin-based growth data for the diagnosis of fetal growth restriction in twins. We will poke the fire of controversy of the use of the terms "fetal growth restriction" and "small for gestational age" and discover how the terms might harm pregnancies.

Next, we discuss the new AAP guidelines for diagnosis of tongue ties. Finally, we answer a listener question about pushy doctors, paying for unnecessary tests, and the disconnect many gynecologists have with guideline and evidence based care.
