Nothing better than listening that using information as soon as you get to work. Thanks so much for a great presentation!
This was incredibly helpful for me to understand some of the advice I have been giving to my pregnant patients might be too restrictive. I'll definitely take this information with me into the clinic tomorrow and start advising my pregnant patient's in a way that's more empowering.
