Reassurance during higher-risk pregnancies Richelle had been managing type 1 diabetes most of her life and knew it can cause significant complications during pregnancy. So each time she was expecting, she turned to AHN maternal fetal medicine specialists at Wexford Health + Wellness Pavilion. She was amazed at the communication between her specialist and her OB-GYN, and how often the maternal fetal medicine staff consulted with her to make sure everything was just right — often four or five times per week. Thanks to their expertise and close attention, Richelle was able to deliver both her son (now 2.5 years old) and daughter (now 9 months old) naturally, without complications from her diabetes. #LivingProof
