6. labor question

   kcsunshyn8 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Ok this might be a dumb question but I'd rather know the answer than to keep wondering what they are talking about on tv. Whenever I watch a delivery on tv(and trust me I know those births are nothing like the real thing-so I've heard), after the do...
