They reveal how fetal hemoglobin, baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, autonomic tug-of-war, and stress hormones power a baby’s built-in defense system during labor. They talk about why low O2 saturations are normal, what truly triggers variables and lates, and tips to prep for C-EFM certification.  Thanks for listening and subscribing!
