How do you manage a complex pregnancy while continuing to manage your career? 

Pregnancy can be complicated, and people who experienced prior reproductive challenges often anxiously wonder just how similar their next experience will be. When these stressors are piled on top of our day-to-day work challenges and the possibility of an unsupportive workplace, things get even more daunting.

I’m thrilled to share that I am currently in my second trimester (!!) after past fertility challenges, so this is a topic close to my heart. This was the perfect time to talk with Dr. Nathan Fox about the premise of his new book, and how to manage pregnancy expectations and assertively communicate with both physicians and superiors in the workplace during this time.

Dive into this discussion by learning more about:

  • Embracing a joint decision-making approach to medicine that honors both doctor and patient expertise;
  • Identifying the best OB/GYN for your unique health situation;
  • Understanding the risk of recurrence of pregnancy complications;
  • And advocating for your rights as a pregnant person in the workplace.
