Q&A: White Coat Hypertension and Navigating Challenges with Your Doctor


Listen Later

Pregnancy comes with many challenges, including navigating prenatal care and working with your provider to make the best decisions for you and your baby. This can be especially difficult when you feel unheard or when your doctor or midwife’s recommendations don’t align with your own understanding of your health. In this episode, we help an expecting mom who has white coat hypertension but has been labeled with gestational hypertension, leaving her frustrated and concerned about the possibility of an unnecessary induction. At some point in your pregnancy, you may find yourself in a situation where you and your provider don’t see eye to eye. Learn practical tools to communicate effectively, ask the right questions, and make informed choices about your care so you can confidently navigate these conversations.     Read the full article and resources that accompany this episode.     Join Pregnancy Podcast Premium to access the entire back catalog, listen to all episodes ad-free, get a copy of the Your Birth Plan Book, and more.     Check out the 40 Weeks podcast to learn how your baby grows each week and what is happening in your body. Plus, get a heads up on what to expect at your prenatal appointments and a tip for dads and partners.     For more evidence-based information, visit the Pregnancy Podcast website.
