If Pregnancy Becomes Medically Complicated: Working With a Maternal Fetal Medicine Physician

Chances are your pregnancy and birth will flow, and you’ll never need to see any of the care providers that deal with more complicated situations. But what if you do? Dr. Loralei Thornburg helps demystify what it can be like working with a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist. She shares with Adriana why so much of it has to do with experience, risk tolerance, and resources, plus why–regardless of medical complications–you can still humanize your experience.
