About Me

Pregnancy can be such an amazing time. It's the start of a new life and speaks to the potential for good in the world. As a medical professional, I need to help women to enjoy this time while I manage all of the risks associated with new babies. I have a lot of missed sleep and calls late at night in the course of my OBGYN practise, but every time I get a new baby announcement from proud parents, the missed sleep seems worth it. This site is all about being able to appreciate the beauty of pregnancy and new life.
