Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Dr Rangi is once again joined by midwife Erica Spessot as they conclude their six-part series exploring the stages of labour.This episode focuses on the fourth and final stage of labour. It includes the bonding with your baby - the golden hour, contracting of the uterus, hormones, the start of breastfeeding, monitoring you and your baby, resting, going home, and the next steps. Next week, in honour of Endometriosis Awareness Month, we’ll be sharing our two-part episode on Endometriosis and Pregnancy with Dr Sam Mooney. It’s a very insightful discussion, and we can’t wait for you to hear it. (And don’t worry, even though this six-part series has finished - Erica will be back again soon!)
