This week we are breaking down the terminology stigma around "AMA" or advanced maternal age, exploring the nuances of risk management in pregnancies over the age of 35, & highlighting the benefits that should be discussed in any conversation around age & family planning.
Ray Rachlin of Refuge Midwifery shares how their personal practice centers patient autonomy through fertility support, pregnancy monitoring, & birth care for this population, how they discuss relative risk surrounding age with their otherwise low-risk clientele, and how we can change the narrative around pregnancies over the age of 35.
