No one wants to talk about it—but we need to.
The tragic death of ER nurse and influencer Hailey Okula, just hours after giving birth to her IVF-conceived son, has left countless women grieving, fearful, and full of questions.
This week on Sperm Meets Egg, we open the conversation that too often gets pushed aside:
Why are women still dying during pregnancy—and what do you really need to know to stay safe?
Dr. Mark Amols and Dr. Wael Salem explore:
✤ The real statistics behind maternal mortality
✤ The most common—and rare—causes of death during pregnancy
✤ The truth about amniotic fluid embolism (AFE)
✤ And why fear shouldn't guide your fertility journey
This episode is part tribute, part truth-telling, and entirely focused on giving you the tools to navigate pregnancy with knowledge and confidence.
