Pregnancy and Health Literacy With Dr Preeya Alexander, GP
This week we chat with Dr Preeya Alexander, a GP based in Melbourne with a passion for preventative medicine. One of Preeya’s passions is health literacy – on her website and Instagram account (@thewholesomedoctor) she shares evidence-based health information in a fun, engaging manner.
She’s also a regular commentator on Mamamia, and she’s about to release her first children’s book, Rainbow Plate, which is all about encouraging little kids to eat well.
We discuss the importance of vaccines and health literacy; how your GP can help you prepare for pregnancy so you have the best possible outcome; managing anxiety about getting pregnant; and the option of shared maternity care with your GP once you’re pregnant.
Hosted by Dr Raelia Lew and Jordi Morrison
Dr Raelia Lew is a RANZCOG Board Certified CREI Fertility specialist, Gynaecologist and the Director of Women’s Health Melbourne.
