S2 E2: How to overcome medical trauma during your high risk pregnancy
If you are an Asian American looking to get pregnant, or even know someone who might be prone to high-risk pregnancy, this is an episode not to be missed.
In this episode, TJ Wey interviews Parijat Deshpande, who has both personal and professional experience in helping women through high-risk pregnancies, emphasizes the need to challenge assumptions and take an active role in your medical care.
An OBGYN or any other healthcare professional might tell you, being informed about your high-risk pregnancy is crucial, but often, the information may not be readily available, as Parijat and many of her clients have learnt.
In this Episode:
- We discuss the significance of having open conversations with your medical team to fully understand what it means to have a high-risk pregnancy and why it matters.
- We provide insights into trauma as a physiological response to past threats and the challenges faced by individuals with medical trauma.
- We discuss the complexities faced by those undergoing high-risk pregnancies, who often require medical interventions and must reenter a system that has caused them previous harm.
- And, with major cultural differences acknowledged, we explore the role of family and loved ones in supporting individuals during high-risk pregnancies, from emotional support to assisting in medical appointments and acting as allies during difficult conversations.
Tune in for a comprehensive discussion on high-risk pregnancies, trauma, self-advocacy, and the importance of supportive networks.
“You get to choose who's in the room. At the time of delivery. You get to choose who comes to your appointments, who was privy to the summary of how your appointments went or your blood test results, your ultrasound results and you get to choose who you share the name with. You get to share and choose who gets to come visit the baby. You are at the top of that pyramid. You have choices.”
