Author: Liesel Teen November 9, 2020 Duration: 36:30

In this episode, I interview my friend Parijat, a high-risk pregnancy specialist, all about stress and how it relates to pregnancy and delivery.

Here are the questions we go over!

  1. Talk to me about how stress can play a part in pregnancy?
  2. How is stress related to preterm labor/other complications during pregnancy?
  3. What are some of the high risk complications that can occur related to stress?
  4. What are some tips we can do to reduce our stress during pregnancy?
  5. How about postpartum - is stress related to complications during postpartum as well?
