I was studying medicine and pursuing my training during those “fertile” years. In addition, I didn’t meet my husband until I was 38. So I’ve definitely heard similar stories from many people over the years who have been told that waiting was no ideal!
I recently did a podcast interview with Nic and Vic of "Coco Caliente" podcast. They discuss their 20-week anatomy ultrasound and give pregnancy updates. I discuss my own journey through pregnancy, and my passion for educating women who are over 35.
Things always seem to be changing, and there are many misconceptions out there—about prenatal testing, labor and delivery, and postnatal care. Knowing what to listen to and what to ignore can be tricky. The best route is to consult with your doctor.
I took a special interest in pregnancy after the age of 35, which according to age alone, is considered a high-risk pregnancy. I was inspired not only by the experiences of friends and patients, but also by my own personal experience of trying to start a family after the age of 40.
I am a double board certified ObGyn and Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist. I have worked at a large academic center in academic medicine as a clinician, educator and researcher since 2004. I am currently a tenured Professor and actively manage patients with high-risk pregnancies.
The best way to contact me about debunking social media content is to send that content to me in a DM on my Instagram account @babiesafter35. You can also email me.
I do not do private consults or review medical records submitted by patients.
Yes! Please email me for more info.
