Pregnancy
If you've started planning a family later in life, you've probably heard the term "geriatric" pregnancy. This term, used to describe advanced maternal age has scared people for years. But is conceiving after 35 as risky as we're led to believe? Learn more about pregnancy after 35, its risks, benefits, and ways to have a healthy pregnancy.
Pregnancy
It’s really happening—your pregnancy has been confirmed and a new baby will be joining you in less than nine months! Maybe you feel like shouting from the rooftops or maybe you’d rather keep the news to yourself for as long as possible. What is the best course of action in this situation? Is there a “right time” to announce your pregnancy?
Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a time of great vulnerability for women. It has always been accompanied by some risk, especially in the past when we knew less than we do now about gestation and birth. Experience, while it is our fundamental source of knowledge, can also be misleading—one woman’s experience does not, cannot, and should not define another’s. A woman’s health, support network, emotional preparedness, and doctor/midwife can all influence her experience.
