How Old is too OLD to have a Baby? A chat with an OB!

from The Eggsplanation · host The Eggsplanation

For the last of our series on "How old is TOO OLD to have a child via IVF" we will be discussing the medical concerns that face older women during pregnancy and how those medical issues can be detrimental to the baby AND the mother.   My guest, Dr. Traci DeSplinter, has a long career as an OB/GYN and I was fortunate to work with her early in my career in fertility.  She has delivered in her practice not only older women carrying their own baby, but gestational carriers and "older" gestational carriers too and knows the pitfalls and emergencies that can happen in a "blink of an eye" to jeopardize both mother and baby. You can learn more about Dr. Traci and her newest endeavor, at #refinedwomenshealth (on IG) and her approach to women's health and wellness during peri-menopause and beyond!
