    Table of Contents

    We would like to thank all our patients for being a part of our lives and allowing us to be a part of theirs. Through taking care of you, weve learned so much more than how to practice medicine. By helping you through your hopes and fears, weve learned the importance of relationships and trust. Great doctors are made, not bornand we believe our patients are our best teachers.
    introduction
    DELIVERING MIRACLES
    NOTHING IN THIS WORLDnothing at allcompares with delivering a new human life into the world.
    Take it from us. Were a team of ob-gynsDr. Allison Hill, Dr. Alane Park, and Dr. Yvonne Bohnwho also happen to be moms. You may know us from our cable television reality show, Deliver Me, which aired for three seasons on the Discovery Health Network and is now airing on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). You can also check out our blog at MommyDocs.com on all matters dealing with pregnancy and womens health.
    We did the math, and between the three of us, weve delivered more than ten thousand babies. And yet each time we do it, the excitement surrounding the event simply cant be put into words. Just imagine this scenario: You are awakened from a sound sleep at 3:00 a.m. and your car keeps stalling and then youre practically in tears on the freeway, driving eighty miles an hour to get to the hospital. You may be worried about your own child at home with the sniffles or your husband, whos feeling a little neglected. But after youre in the delivery room and the action begins, you are right there in the thick of it with the mother, and its the Big Show. The moment right before the baby comes out, you can feel your heart beating right along with the babys, and the adrenaline rush could beat the thrill of any extreme sport on earth.
    Being medical doctors, moms, and veterans of every imaginable childbirth scenario, we wish every expectant mom could feel the same thrill of adventure and discovery that we feel, from the moment we take on a new patient to the culmination of birth, when were holding a new life in our arms.
    But in our combined forty-five years of experience, weve noticed a trend that conspires to make pregnancy and childbirth stressful, frustrating experiences for women, when they should be exciting and joyful times. Weve witnessed far too many women struggling through pregnancies that seem traumatic and nerve-wrackingnot because of medical high-risk factors such as diabetes or lupus, which in our experience are challenges but surmountable onesbut from a simple lack of information or outright misinformation. For a variety of reasons, urban legends and old wives tales seem to thrive in the world of pregnancy. Some of these myths and half-truths are perpetuated on the pages of the most popular and trusted pregnancy guides, blogs, and Web sites on the market. The result is plenty of confused and often terrified moms-to-be who cant find fact-based advice and answers they can trust.
    Is it true that I cant touch a cat for nine months?
    Is my best friend right when she says that eating sushi will harm my baby?
    Why cant I wear high heels?
    My mom says I shouldnt raise my arms over my head after the seventh month. Is she crazy ... or am I?
    These questions may sound ridiculous on the surfacebut they are very serious to a frightened pregnant woman.
    The fact is, we answer questions like these every day. Were truly grateful that our patients trust us enough to ask them. But sometimes, were privately astonished by the misconceptions that make otherwise smart women lose sleep during the nine months of their pregnancy.
    After checking out some of the other information out there that we believe may be as much a part of the problem as the solution, we decided it was time to pool our vast wealth of shared knowledge and experience and write our own book, based on the most up-to-date medical research available and filtered through the lens of our daily lives, both as busy ob-gyns and as dedicated moms.
    Our Experiences
    Weve just celebrated the twelfth anniversary of our OB-GYN private practice. Before that, our partnership was forged at Los Angeles County Hospital, a veritable war zone of illness, accidents, and injuries in the gritty heart of downtown Los Angeles. The Residency Program of the University of Southern California Medical School required each of us to spend four years at County. As it turned out, our tour of duty at County was the best preparation on earth for the work we do now.
    At County, we rarely saw any low-risk, regular moms. Instead, for four years, we took care of only medically complicated pregnancies. A group of midwives in the hospital managed the low-risk moms on an entire floor dedicated to natural, vaginal births. The chief of obstetrics at County instructed the midwives to guide us through our first deliveries. He said to us, In the next four years, youre probably never going to get to do this. I want your first experience to be with a midwife, so you know what its like to be a part of a regular, normal labor and birth.
    After that, our real training began. In a typical day, each of us would help deliver as many as twenty-five babies. We were flying by the seat of our pants half the time, but we were doing it together. Every shift, we dealt with high-risk pregnancies, sick moms, and very sick babies, making split-second, life-or-death decisions several times a day.
    Those four years gave us a solid foundation of knowledge and experience for dealing with every kind of complication that can happen in a pregnancy or during birth. It would be hard to think of a scenario that one of us hasnt dealt with in our careers. We want you to know that given the right team of people and specialists, we can take care of you even if you have high-risk complications.
    Why We Became Doctors
    Dr. Allison Hill
    As a teenager I was extremely uncomfortable during my first gynecological exam - photo 3
    As a teenager, I was extremely uncomfortable during my first gynecological exam because the doctor was an older gentleman who had been in practice forever. He didnt do anything wrong, but I had lots of questions about very personal topics. And I thought, Theres no way I would ever tell this guy whats on my mind. It would be like talking to my grandfather. I remember walking out of there that day and thinking, I could do this better. I think I could make women feel more comfortable than what I just went through. That idea stayed with me.
    The field of OB-GYN and womens health issues inspires me. It deals with the most intimate concerns in a womens life, such as sex, hormones, sexually transmitted diseases, birth control ... and having babies. The experience you have with your gynecologist or your obstetrician is an extremely personal one, and I value the relationships I get to have with my patients.
    A Midwestern girl at heart, having been born and raised in central Illinois, I moved to LA for my residency and never looked back. Now I am a single mom to two great kidsLuke, eight, and Kate, six. Both were born prematurely and, as a result, taught me a lot more about nurturing than any textbook could. These days, they have me running all over town, as the soccer team mom, Cub Scout den mother, and all-around chauffeur. In my spare time, I am a runner and a yogitwo things I love to do alone to get away from the chaos of my everyday life.
