We all have antibodies circulating in our blood that help us fight off infections. But, if you're pregnant, some of those antibodies can cross the placenta and affect your unborn baby. This could lead to anemia of an unborn baby. Check out this episode to find out how we determine whether an antibody is significant or harmless. You'll also learn about how we determine if unborn babies are anemic, how these pregnancies are treated, and what you can do to prevent anemia in future pregnancies. This one is a laid back but educational chit chat. So, make sure you check this one out... especially if you're pregnant or planning to be pregnant. Download and listen now!
