Reposted as a tribute to the knowledge and wit of Dr. Jay Goldberg who sadly passed away much too soon.

This episode originally aired in 2015: Dr. Berlin chats about pregnancy taboos such as sushi, sex, tanning, and more with beloved Los Angeles Obstetrician Dr. Jay Goldberg.

Sushi? Wine? Coffee? Cheese? Eggs? Juice? Exercise? Sex? Tanning? Hair color? Nail salon? Sleep position? We ask lots of question...tune in to listen and learn.
