Ch CW 33 Birth Spacing Piece
I was interviewed on TV news (link below) about a recent study that found more risks to getting pregnant again too soon. The study found that waiting at least 11 months was ideal. Another subsequent pregnancy before six months had a significantly increased risk of pre-term birth, small babies, birth defects and even early neonatal death. This study was based on 440,838 births so it has statistic weight in what it says. It makes these pregnancies high risk.
The theories as to why this is include the nutritional drain of the first pregnancy not being fully replaced prior to getting pregnant again. Also, the same hormonal imbalances that may cause postpartum depression may have some effect on another pregnancy if it is too soon. Before any pregnancy you should call me and let me prescribe you some prenatal vitamins, that also decreases some birth defects. CLICK HERE TO SEE ME ON TV (2:28 min)
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Need to go back to work a week after your surgery? Surgeons have been taking out gall bladders for years using belly button surgery because the gall bladder like a balloon deflates and can be removed through a small opening. The uterus is solid muscle. There is now an instrument I can use to morsellate (i.e. cut into small pieces) the uterus and remove it through a 3/4 inch cut on the abdomen. Not many surgeons can do this surgery and not all women are good candidates because of too large of a uterine size, cervical abnormalities or scarring from infections or endometriosis. The surgery takes longer and is technically more difficult, but I find the surgery rewarding because it is interesting new technology and my patients can return to their normal lives so quickly. If you know you need a hysterectomy or know someone who does, this should be considered before a standard open hysterectomy is performed.
