Pressure Makes Diamonds: Dr. Crevecoeur's story

Here we are at the end of 2021 and you may be feeling nostalgic for easier times, pre pandemic life…we visit these times in today’s story. my guest gave birth for the first time more than two decades ago and had a wide breadth of experiences in pregnancy and delivery in the course of her four pregnancies. She has hyper emesis for all of the pregnancies and learns to manage it despite her busy OB practice. A whole host of surprises visit her in the five years of pregnancy, including what I’ll call an enthusiastic cervix (you’ll see what that means as you listen to her story), postpartum challenges, milk supply issues, and once the kids are older, health surprises of her own. Whether it’s her medical training or her intuition, she makes a number of critical decisions that keep her from what could have been complete catastrophes and She manages the various ups and downs with grace and wisdom.
