Dr. Moeun Son, an OB/GYN and Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, explains how she cares for patients whose high-risk pregnancy increases the likelihood of requiring a cesarean delivery. Dr. Son tells the story behind a recent study that analyzed the use of nipple stimulation via breast pump as a means of facilitating natural labor induction. The results of her research indicate that this method is a promising alternative to synthetic medications.
