What is a ‘crisis’ pregnancy and why do women experience them?

March 7, 2022March 6, 2022 ~ Dr Emma Milne ~ 1 Comment

In recent videos I have talked a lot about ‘crisis’ pregnancies. In this video I explore the idea of a ‘crisis’ pregnancy in more detail. I consider what a ‘crisis’ pregnancy is, why women experience them, and the impact for women who experience them.
