Reducing Anxieties Surrounding Complications During Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum with Dr. Marta Perez
EPISODE 6
In today’s episode, Dr. Marta Perez and I will be addressing OB complications and how to reduce our anxiety surrounding those. We’ll look at complications during pregnancy, labor and birth, and postpartum. Dr. Perez’s eight week old baby, Paul, joins in on the conversation as well! With the incredible modern medicine we have now, you’ll hear that complications are common but not typically life-threatening.

She enjoys everything fitness, reading, spending time with her husband and dog, and being a new mom.
