00:00:04.004 --> 00:00:06.339
My name is Doctor Lauren McMahon.

00:00:06.339 --> 00:00:10.760
I practice in obstetrics and gynecology,
which is the care of patients

00:00:11.136 --> 00:00:14.681
during pregnancy,
and also the care of patients

00:00:14.681 --> 00:00:19.227
throughout their reproductive lifespan,
including for menopause,

00:00:19.227 --> 00:00:22.439
during the menopause transition
after menopause, through all life

00:00:22.439 --> 00:00:25.442
stages.

00:00:25.525 --> 00:00:27.986
We have a really team based

00:00:27.986 --> 00:00:30.655
approach to how we manage our,

00:00:30.655 --> 00:00:34.242
pregnant patients,
especially in the hospital with delivery.

00:00:34.409 --> 00:00:37.495
We want people to be able
to have both their midwifery care

00:00:37.495 --> 00:00:42.625
as well as the care from a physician,
if that is, needed or wanted

00:00:42.959 --> 00:00:46.296
and so I really enjoy working with them
and it gives, I think, our patients

00:00:46.296 --> 00:00:49.507
a really well-rounded experience.

00:00:52.594 --> 00:00:53.636
I think the important things

00:00:53.636 --> 00:00:57.640
to think about are
how accessible is your care team?

00:00:57.932 --> 00:01:02.729
What hospital do they go to
and what are the resources available?

00:01:02.729 --> 00:01:05.565
We're lucky that we have a pretty well

00:01:06.566 --> 00:01:09.986
resourced group,
especially when it comes to obstetrics.

00:01:09.986 --> 00:01:11.196
We have a really great

00:01:11.196 --> 00:01:14.657
team of nurses that take phone calls
for patients all day long,

00:01:15.241 --> 00:01:18.536
so if people have questions
or they need anything, we just have really

00:01:18.536 --> 00:01:19.537
great resources.
