It’s the most excited you’ll ever be. And it’s the most scared you’ve ever been. Myra J. Wick, M.D., Ph.D., Mayo Clinic obstetrician, gynecologist, and medical geneticist, joins co-hosts Angela Mattke, M.D., and Nipunie Rajapakse M.D., to discuss the often-conflicted feelings of expectant parents. Questions tackled include:
* What factors make a pregnancy “high risk?” How much does age matter? What can I do to lower that risk?
* What can I do during pregnancy to give my baby her best chance at being born healthy, and staying that way?
* Should we consider genetic testing?
* How should we plan our lives — work, relationships — with a needy new addition joining our ranks?
