High-risk pregnancies are rising — and the need for specialized maternal care has never been greater.
Dr. Kathryn Berryman, board-certified OBGYN and maternal-fetal medicine specialist, sits down with Allison Walsh and shares her journey from military physician to high-risk pregnancy expert serving women and families at AdventHealth for Women. After earning her medical degree at the University of Maryland and completing residency at Brooke Army Medical Center, she deployed to Iraq as an active-duty Army physician before pursuing fellowship training in maternal-fetal medicine at The Ohio State University.
Today, Dr. Berryman cares for women navigating complex pregnancies, including medical complications, multiples, fetal concerns, and high-risk postpartum recovery. Her work extends beyond clinical care — she is deeply committed to teaching the next generation of physicians and advancing whole-person women’s healthcare.
This conversation explores:
- Why high-risk pregnancies are increasing
- What maternal-fetal medicine really means
- The future of prenatal testing — including genetics and proteomics
- The importance of postpartum and fourth trimester care
- How telehealth is expanding access to specialized pregnancy care
- Balancing motherhood, marriage, and medicine
