<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1926226/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a>In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Rachel Rosovsky, MD, MPH, a board-certified hematologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and internationally recognized expert in venous thromboembolism (blood clots). Together, we break down one of the leading causes of maternal complications and discuss what every woman should know about blood clot risk during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. We explore how to recognize the warning signs of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), when swelling is normal versus concerning, and why education and awareness can save lives. We also discuss including pregnant women in research, maternal advocacy, and how conversations about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) fit into the broader picture of women's health. We talk about:-pulmonary embolisms and deep vein thrombosis-the preventability of blood issues-when is pregnancy swelling a problem?-prioritizing maternal health-education and raising awareness-including pregnant women in clinical trials-HRT and blood clot risk Time Stamps0:00 introduction3:10 from math teacher to hematologist6:13 having a baby during med school10:10 choosing hematology12:31 explaining blog clots17:11 addressing the guidelines for pregnancy20: are you at higher risk if you’re pregnant? 24:41 potential problematic symptoms31:47 seeing a rise in risk postpartum35:53 where to seek care40:23 what care can look like47:12 looking ahead to perimenopause and menopause52:50 follow your intuition CONNECT WITH CARRIEIG: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/'>https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/</a>Website: <a href='https://carriepagliano.com'>https://carriepagliano.com</a>Course waitlist: <a href='https://course.carriepagliano.com/RSAWL'>https://course.carriepagliano.com/RSAWL</a>R2R Screen: <a href='https://course.carriepagliano.com/R2Rreadyscreen'>https://course.carriepagliano.com/R2Rreadyscreen</a> CONNECT WITH RACHEL:LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-rosovsky'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-rosovsky</a>Website: <a href='https://www.massgeneral.org/doctors/17898/rachel-rosovsky'>https://www.massgeneral.org/doctors/17898/rachel-rosovsky</a>Guidelines: <a href='https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41712898/'>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41712898/</a> The Active Mom Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond for active moms & the professionals who help them in their journey.     This show has been a long time in the making!      You can expect conversation with moms and professionals from all aspects of the industry.      If you're like me, you don't have a lot of free time (heck, you're probably listening at 1.5x speed), so theses interviews will be quick hits to get your the pertinent information FAST!     If you love what you hear, share the podcast with a friend and leave us a 5 start rating and review.
