    MS and Pregnancy (Sept 2026 Expert Review) (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    MS is a complex polygenic disease with over 200 associated genetic variants. The risk of an offspring developing MS if one parent is affected is relatively low at 2% to 3% (though maternal transmission shows slightly higher heritability), with some possible epigenetic influences. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society reports that up to 4 times as many women have MS as men. The average age at MS diagnosis is around 30 years. Studies show this ratio has grown over the past several decades; in th

    What Defines “Refractory” HTN for Preterm sPreE Delivery? (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The ACOG PB 222 states, “In women with preeclampsia with severe features at less than 34 0/7 weeks of gestation, with stable maternal and fetal condition, expectant management may be considered”. The expectant management of preeclampsia with severe features before 34 0/7 weeks of gestation is based on strict selection criteria of those appropriate candidates and is best accomplished in a setting with resources appropriate for maternal and neonatal care. BOX 4 in that ACOG guidance lists “Conditi

    The Cerebellum (TCD) as EGA Referee (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    So, here is a not uncommon situation: A new OB patient presents for initial prenatal care at 28 weeks by “sure LMP” but her ultrasound EGA is just over 3 weeks behind. Simple redating, right? How can we be assured that we are not missing FGR? That is where the “ancillary” use of transcerebellar diameter (TCD) plays a role. In this episode, we will highlight the recent JUNE 2026 data on this and review the 4 scenarios when this supplemental ultrasound finding can play a vital role. 1. Fetal Trans

    Read excerpt

    Today we are diving into a topic that is incredibly close to my heart—one that has the potential to fundamentally change how we approach prenatal care and protect pregnant patients. We’re talking about low-dose aspirin for the prevention of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Now, if you follow current formal guidelines, you probably know the standard protocol: 81 milligrams a day, prescribed based on specific risk factors. But there’s a growing body of evidence suggesting we might be underdosi

    “Resolved” Early FGR: Now What? (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Today, we are tackling a massive grey area in obstetrics/maternal-fetal medicine: What happens after early fetal growth restriction resolves? When a baby bounces back on the growth chart during the second or third trimester, are they completely out of the woods? Or is there a hidden, lingering risk we aren’t talking about enough? To find out, we’re doing a deep dive into two major publications that dropped just this month, in August 2026 in sister journals (AJOG and AJOG MFM). Both are retrospec
