Maternal-Fetal Medicine Podcast

Do you know what constitutes a “high risk” pregnancy?  For many women, that answer is no.

If your OB/GYN doctor determines that your pregnancy is high-risk, he or she may refer you to the specialist physicians at the Center for Maternal Fetal Medicine, who will partner with you and your OB/GYN to ensure you and your baby stay healthy throughout your pregnancy.

In this edition of the AAMC Health Connection Podcast, AAMC maternal-fetal medicine specialist Jeffrey Spencer, M.D., outlines why a pregnancy might be determined as “high risk” and provides some information about the specialty of maternal-fetal medicine.  In addition, he provides an overview of the diagnostic tools that can help physicians provide the best possible care to you and your baby.  Physicians like Dr. Spencer are just one reason why AAMC is the safe, smart place to have your baby.

Genetics Counseling

As the focus of health care shifts toward the prevention of disease, genetic counselors can help patients assess their risk of developing a variety of cancers, and can map out prevention and screening strategies that can provide advanced warning of any signs of trouble in the future.

In this edition of the AAMC Health Connection Podcast, we’re joined by AAMC genetic counselor Aimee Martin, who will talk with us about one of the most popular emerging fields in medicine.

Having chosen the obstetrician to oversee her care for the duration of her pregnancy, a woman’s search turns to selecting the hospital where she will deliver her baby.  During this time, clinical services such as an antepartum unit, hospitalist support, and an on-site neonatal intensive care unit become necessities, not just “ideal.” 

AAMC is one of the busiest birthing centers in the state of Maryland - host to more than 5,600 deliveries each year. 

In this edition of the AAMC Health Connection Podcast, Chair of Women’s and Children’s Services at AAMC, Dr. Henry Sobel, joins AAMC Senior Nursing Director Misa Ewing, R.N., M.S.N., to talk women through the clinical services they should demand from their birthing hospital.

So often, discussions about the arrival of a new baby fall around the questions and concerns of a new Mom.  But what about the Dads?

In this edition of the AAMC Health Connection Podcast, AAMC clinical educator Mike Johnson provides an overview of “Boot Camp for New Dads,” an AAMC workshop designed to confront the fears and apprehensions of new fathers.  Mike answers some common questions routinely on the minds of expectant fathers, and paints a picture of what life is like as soon as a new baby arrives.
