  • Informative AND engaging

    I’m a PA who has recently started working with an OB hospitalist team, mostly assisting with CSections but also working on the unit wherever I can be helpful. This podcast has given me so much more knowledge and context for the job in general as well as helping me understand and balance some of the conflicting perspectives from friends/social media compared to my OB counterparts. It’s been truly game changing. Beyond that, it’s just so much easier to listen to and enjoy than the podcasts out the... more

  • Super informative

    After years of working on mother/baby in the same hospital as Dr. Abdelhak I’m finally understanding the method to his madness and it works!! The way him and Kristin simplify and explain why things are done a certain way, makes you wonder why it’s not being done that way everywhere else. A great listen & a great practice!

  • Labor Nurse

    I am a labor and delivery nurse and I really love this show; I listen to this podcast on the way to and from work everyday. Even after 10 years of working on high volume, high risk labor units I still learn something new from every single show. I only wish that every OB provider was as logical and evidence based as these two … the world would be a much better place for it. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, knowledge, and unique perspectives with all of us.

  • The best podcast!

    Clever, witty, informative, honest. This is the best podcast! This is Curb Your Enthusiasm meet John Hopkins! What a wealth of knowledge these two provide along with their funny comments and banter.

    Kristin Mallon is smart, experienced and resourceful. And she makes it seem so easy how she ties everything together in the podcast. Dr. Abdelhak is hysterical! I could listen to him all day! He is truly the forefront of obstetrics and deserves an award for his innovative, compassionate medical pe... more
