S2E15 - "Mother of Dragons" with Guest: Kyndell DeNicola
<p><strong>Description:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">That's right, there's a new Mother of Dragons- many, in fact. This episode the Green Docs honors expectant mothers in this Chinese "Year of the Dragon" with a special guest – Nate's wife, Kyndell, who is expecting their little fire-breather this summer. She talks about what it's like to be married to an Ob/Gyn (her OB FOB), how to navigate the new digital marketplace for pregnancy and parenthood, and the best time to discuss environmental topics with moms-to-be. Sneak preview: it's not at 6 AM before coffee.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Nate and Bruce steer you through the latest headlines your OB might have missed: like what it really means to be born under the auspices of the dragon zodiac; dissecting new analysis on how the United States truly ranks among global maternal health (probably better than you think); and good news for moms who want to avoid that sugary diabetes test – a new gene study that could make us sour on the sweetener challenge. Tune in to the Season 2 Finale for all this plus Bruce's recommendation to Nate and Kyndell for a baby name: Brucina? A little dragonian.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Show Links Pending</strong></p> <p>What does it mean to be a "Mother of Dragons" per the Smithsonian:</p> <p><a href= "https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/why-is-the-year-of-the-dragon-considered-so-lucky-180983764/"> https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/why-is-the-year-of-the-dragon-considered-so-lucky-180983764/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Risk of maternal mortality in the US may have been overestimated relative to other countries:</p> <p><a href= "https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/01/31/united-states-maternal-mortality-crisis-statistics-health/"> <strong>https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/01/31/united-states-maternal-mortality-crisis-statistics-health/</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p>A new, improved way to make an early diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes:</p> <p><a href= "https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240416/Placental-IGFBP1-A-key-factor-in-development-of-gestational-diabetes.aspx"> https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240416/Placental-IGFBP1-A-key-factor-in-development-of-gestational-diabetes.aspx</a></p>
