What if pregnancy wasn’t treated like a pause button on a woman’s health?
What if those nine months weren’t just about waiting for a baby but also about real support, smart guidance, and evidence-based care that actually centers the person who’s pregnant?

That’s the conversation we’re having today.

Pregnancy often gets sidelined in women’s health. There’s so much focus on fertility and postpartum, but what about the time in between? It matters. A lot.

In this episode, we dig into:

• Why weight during pregnancy isn’t something to avoid talking about
• How we can rethink nutrition without shame or stress
• What to do when the usual guidance is missing
• Safe ways to stay active while pregnant
• The truth about pregnancy food “rules”
• How clinicians who aren’t OBs can still support patients well

My guest, Dr. Kimberley Sampson, is a board-certified OB/GYN who’s also certified in lifestyle and obesity medicine. She’s the chair of OB/GYN at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, teaches at Dartmouth University, and serves as VP of the New England Obesity Society. She brings both clinical expertise and compassion to the table—and she’s not afraid to challenge outdated norms.

If you’ve ever felt like pregnancy care forgets about the actual person going through it—you’re going to want to hear this.

Tune in now and let’s talk about what better care during pregnancy really looks like.
