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.

Great for the patients and medical professionals!

I was a patient of Dr Abdelhak and Kristin years ago, and now a new grad RN working in high risk antepartum and Labor and Delivery. Super entertaining and enhancing my practice at the same time! Love it so much.

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 perspective and approach. I listen every week. I am a physician assistant and only wish fellow practitioners loved their field and cared about their patients as much as Kristin and Dr. Abdelhak. I hope this turns into a book. But more so I hope this gets the recognition that this is how medicine should be practiced.

As an OB nurse educator…

I cannot recommend this podcast enough! I have almost 11 years experience in hospital high risk OB and these episodes are spot on. I’ve enjoyed listening and learning to these two. Next group of students I have, I’m going to use these podcasts as a fun post-conference activity.

Outstanding!

If anyone can turn the arena of obstetrics into a comedy routine, it would be Dr. Abdelhak. I worked with Dr. Abdelhak for 10 years, he had a remarkable bedside manner, wit, charm and ridiculous intellect. I have been in many a delivery with him holding my breathe,(vaginal triplets) yet he always takes control and is successful. By far one of the most amazing doctors I have worked with in my 25 years as a nurse and Nurse Practitioner.

Fantastic Podcast!

Thanks for this wonderful podcast! The information is so valuable! After listening to the FGR podcast, I went to my appointment knowing what questions to ask and prepared to understand the significance of the specific numbers on my ultrasound. I really appreciate the time you are devoting to keeping us mom’s informed in this journey! Thanks!! -Kelly

Addictive

I can’t stop listening these two hosts have the ability to take what might have been medical topics without appeal or meaning and turn them in to gripping discussions. Keep them coming!

Entertaining and eye opening

A friend told me about this podcast. It’s so refreshing to hear doctors talk openly. I really enjoy it despite being a guy who’s not in the pregnancy game.

Perfect for first time moms

Quick, easy to understand and digestible. Gives you the DL on what to expect and all the things you wondered about — but were too afraid to ask. Excellent for first timers!!

5 stars!

This is the most entertaining and medically accurate series brought to you by people who see and do it all. I am Labor and delivery nurse and having working alongside Dr. Abdelhak and Kristen for many years I can attest to their honesty, skill, knowledge base and most importantly their humor. Dr. Abdelhak is certainly one of a kind and it’s so fun to listen to him share so much of himself to everyone else! Enjoy, because this is what makes life on the labor floor so fun! Can’t wait for more episodes!!!!
