Host Dr. Fox welcomes Dr. Shira Billet, who since experiencing pregnancy loss herself counsels women and families through this trauma. Dr. Billet holds a PhD in philosophy and religion, and outside of her professional career has carved a niche for herself in helping others deal with the grief of losing a child. She and Dr. Fox also discuss the stigma regarding pregnancy loss and how the grief compares to a death. This episode is the first in a new mini series: “When Bad Things Happen in Pregnancy.”

Dr. Steven Inglis joins Healthful Woman to discuss ultrasounds in obstetrics. He and Dr. Fox review the advances in ultrasound use due to better technology, embryology, genetics, and training for OB/GYNs, from just “make sure there is a head there” to making diagnoses based on “the difference of a millimeter or two.” They also discuss what OB/GYNs are looking for on an ultrasound and why, and the shortcomings of ultrasound exams.
