Jordana returns for another Baby Steps, presented by BetterHelp, and this week she’s joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Georgia Witkin to talk all about the mental toll of infertility, and how stress and therapy play a vital role in the process of trying to get pregnant. Dr. Witkin tells us how she got involved in the field of stress research, including why so little attention was paid to the role of stress on women before she started her program at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She also helps clarify some of the biggest medical myths around pregnancy and infertility. Is there really any evidence to support the claim that “the minute you stop trying” you’ll get pregnant? And what’s the deal with the five stages of grief anyway? Plus, she gives tips for navigating the process of egg freezing, egg donation, IVF, miscarriages, and more. If you’re curious about stress and pregnancy, Dr. Witkin has the answers.
