This is the debut of my new blog about pregnancy.

My goal is to eventually set up a real website, but this will have to suffice for now.

Yes, this was me in 2005 - working OB/GYN physician, happily married, mother of a three year old daughter, and 36 weeks pregnant.

I am temporarily giving up my OB/GYN practice so I can accompany my husband on an overseas assignment/adventure with our kids who are now 8 and 5.

Why am I blogging about Glamorous Pregnancy? I loved my job and was very good at it. My patients always commented on how well I listened and how I was able to take scary subjects and break them down into terms that they could understand. I also had a fabulous rapport with most of my patients - and that is the thing I will miss the most. This blog is my temporary outlet - my way to still be the type of doctor I love to be.

The information on this website will be grounded in real, well studied medical data - and I will provide the references I use. It will also contain my personal opinions and tips I have learned from my own pregnancies and practice.

My friends and family graciously submitted some good questions and topics to get me started. Things they were too embarrassed to ask their own doctor about - but were comfortable asking me.

Remember, this is only advice. Talk to your own health care provider before making any changes to your current pregnancy plan.
