The Placenta & Umbilical Cord Explained: Functions, Risks & Birth Facts with Dr. Jessica Vernon
Description
A past blog post about nuchal cords (when the umbilical cord wraps around baby’s neck) sparked a lot of fear and confusion, especially around the idea that this could “strangle” baby. In this episode, we take a deeper look at what’s really happening.
In this episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies, I speak with Dr. Jessica Vernon. Dr. Jessica is is a mom of two and a board-certified OBGYN for over a decade. She is an Associate Medical Director as well as the Director of Mental Health at Oula, a midwifery-led women’s health startup in NYC.
Understanding how brilliantly the body functions during pregnancy can bring so much reassurance. We hope this episode helps you feel informed, grounded, and confident!
