Show Notes

January 23rd is Maternal Health Awareness Day. Dr. Michael Aziz, a Maternal-Fetal Medical Specialist with Allegheny Health Network, wishes there was no need for such a day. However, he says the United States is in a maternal crisis when it comes to mothers and babies. He says there are many reasons including the opioid epidemic, women waiting longer to have children, and many are ignoring suggestions to get the COVID-19 vaccination as a way to protect themselves and their unborn child.
