Ask Dr.B: Q&A S1E4

"You are going to be in alignment with your provider and that's midwife and obstetrician, by the way, and then with that in mind as you go through the pregnancy, and things change, from having to go undergo bedrest to maybe having a positive cervical culture 36 weeks and it be treated with antibiotics. What's the relevancy of that? I'll spend some time in the future podcasts going over the significance of Group B streptococcus screens in pregnancy and labor in the clinical significance of that. But also, as you go through this pregnancy, with the ability to be in alignment, allows the guy to discovery to take place and for it to be a healthy process because of all the unknowns and all the things you had not planned for. You can now respond to it confidently and not feel that you're putting your baby at risk, putting yourself at risk." - Dr. Bootstaylor
