Surprise I'm Pregnant!

from Life as a Patient-Doctor · host Dr. Stephanie Moss, MD

Join me as I share my personal journey of becoming a pregnant residency doctor after overcoming infertility with endometriosis, a challenge that many women in medicine face. As a medical student and future physician, I never thought that I would struggle with reproductive health issues such as endometriosis, but it has been a significant part of my story. While preparing for ivf and I am excited to start my pregnancy journey. In this video, I will be discussing my experiences with infertility, ivf, and endometriosis awareness, as well as how I balanced my residency training, including my Psychiatry residency. I hope that my story will inspire and support other women's health advocates and future doctors who may be facing similar challenges. My goal is to raise awareness about the importance of reproductive health and to show that even in the demanding field of medical school and doctor life, it is possible to achieve your dreams and start a family. Tune in to hear more about my journey and the lessons I have learned along the way.Baby Moss Registry: https://www.amazon.com/baby-reg/stephaniejonah-moss-september-2026-highlandpark/2XL8Q1TI6N18700:00 Unexpected News: I'm Pregnant!00:32 Intro01:14 My Journey with Infertility03:21 Medicine & Infertility04:50 Identity 05:50 Residency: Glimmer of Hope08:09 Trauma Responses09:13 The Emotional Rollercoaster10:25 Impact of Stress on the Body12:00 Confirming the Pregnancy15:56 Two Weeks of Panic18:43 Mental Health: Depression & Safety Plan20:31 Pre-natal Appointment25:09 Side Effects25:46 Looking Ahead: New Chapters
