Pregnancy, Labor, Delivery, and Motherhood with an OB/GYN
The PedsDocTalk Podcast
03/03/21 • 51 min
As an OB and Pediatrician, a common assumption of us two doctor moms is that we have it all figured out.
Not. Always.
I welcome my friend Dr. Marta Perez (on Instragram as @dr.martaperez), who is an OB and new mom. We chat about motherhood and everything that got us here today.
We share a heart-to-heart about the assumptions that are made of us as physicians and doctor moms.
- Did we fear pregnancy, labor, or motherhood?
- Did we experience anxiety in pregnancy or postpartum even with all we know?
- Do we experience momma guilt?
- Did we empathize more with our patients after our experiences being pregnant and becoming a mom?
Dr. Marta Perez and I break it all down and also educate about the real deal--the truth behind pregnancy, labor, delivery, and motherhood!

2020 Vision. A Year That Allowed Us to See the World a Little More Clearly
The PedsDocTalk Podcast
12/16/20 • 32 min
For my final episode of 2020, I want to talk about the year that has felt like five.
So many people wanted to "cancel" this year. And although this year was tough in so many ways, it has taught us more about the world and ourselves than we may have realized.
It has also taught our children so much as well.
Listen in as I celebrate the GOOD this year has brought us. By celebrating the good, I am not undermining the lives loss and those who experience injustice in this world.
Let's celebrate this year and what's to come tomorrow, in 2021, and the years to come.
