Every time i watch a video like that I raise both hands and shout" There is GOD". Thanks for the video. It was not too long nor too short. It's true when they say" Short and sweet is better than long and boring".

@3:39, after the placenta is removed, you mention that the pulmonary vascular resistance begins to rise, doesn't this decrease? Thank you.
