Health before pregnancy can determine not only the chances of conception but also the health of you and your baby for years to come! Joining us this month is Dr. Martha Tesfalul, a board-certified gynecologist who specializes in high-risk pregnancies in a discussion on steps that can be taken before pregnancy to improve birthing outcomes. Dr. Tesfalul obtained her BA in Sociology from Harvard University and MD with a concentration in Public Health and Service from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and completed her residency and both a clinical and research fellowship at UCSF. Moderating this talk is Asmara Gebre, certified nursing midwife and assistant clinical professor at UCSF.
