Empowered Pregnancy Podcast: Don't Let Age Scare You Mama!

This episode tackles the often-feared label of "Advanced Maternal Age" (AMA). I'm here to challenge the fear-mongering surrounding pregnancy over 35 and empower moms to focus on overall wellness and building a positive support system.

Here's what I get into:

  • Why the term "AMA" might be more harmful than helpful.
  • How age is just one piece of the pregnancy puzzle.
  • The importance of healthy habits.
  • Understanding risk statistics: absolute vs. relative risk.
  • The link between C-sections and AMA labels.
  • Why induction rates might be unnecessary for older moms.
  • The benefits of a midwife-led care model for AMA pregnancies.
  • Building a supportive community to navigate pregnancy and motherhood.

Ready to ditch the fear and embrace an empowered pregnancy? Join me and take charge of your journey!

*Trigger warning- mention of stillbirth, infant death and maternal death

More questions about Advanced Maternal Age (AMA) or "Geriatric pregnancy?" 
DM me over on IG @empoweredbirthcoaching I'd love to hear from you!
