In this brief video, Dr. Tabatha Barber emphasizes that patients should inform their current primary or functional care providers about any events that occurred during their pregnancies, even if those pregnancies happened decades ago. She explains that many people no longer see the obstetrician who managed those pregnancies, so sharing that history with the present‑day clinician is essential because pregnancy experiences can influence later‑life health. To facilitate this, her practice uses a detailed 45‑minute intake form designed to capture comprehensive pregnancy histories, underscoring the belief that past obstetric events matter for current medical care.

So I look at this as we have to stop siloing what happened in our pregnancies, even though some people listening to this, that was 30 years ago. They need to tell their now primary care. They're probably not going to the same OB that they did 30 years ago. So they need to tell their primary care or whoever they're seeing, even if it's a functional doctor, what happened during their pregnancy. That is why we have them fill out that 45-minute intake form because we want to know what happened in your pregnancies because it does matter.
