This is a YouTube video titled "Why Pregnancy Prep Matters… Months Before Conception" featuring a conversation between Gary Brecka and another speaker discussing the lack of medical advice for pregnant women, the importance of preparing for pregnancy, and the role of men in pregnancy preparation.
There's so little medical advice for women that are pregnant. We have clinical trials on just about everything, but we rarely do them on women while they're in the process of bearing children. So what does a healthy pregnancy lifestyle look like?
Well, you know, one thing I tell pregnant patients, or ideally, before they get pregnant, to prepare for the pregnancy as much as they prepare for their wedding. Sometimes weddings take six months to prepare. You have to do the same thing for pregnancy. But a lot of times, unfortunately, they come in already pregnant. Most of my pregnant patients are high risk, so we see a lot of preeclampsia, preterm labor, gestation, diabetes. And I can tell you from the patients who prepare for the pregnancy, they have less of those. You have to be ready. And I think also one area that we forget to talk about is the preparation of the men for the pregnancy. Wow. We throw pregnancy on women. And I think men should play a role. And I'm sure physiologically their physiology will improve when they see support and they see someone caring for them. And when you have this support, you will make a difference.
