As a doctor, I know that no two patients are alike. And no two pregnancies are the same. A pregnancy is, simply put, the body growing another human being inside itself. As a result, pregnancy changes the body in many ways, affecting the heart, brain, muscles and just about every organ. Some patients, happily, experience normal event-free pregnancies. Many, unfortunately, endure complications – in some cases, severe enough that those complications can endanger the patient’s health and put their life at risk.
