Delivery during COVID: the Doc is in!

In our inaugural episode of 'The Lipstick Network", we are seeing, celebrating and LOVING the soon-to-be moms and the professionals that keep them safe during their labor experience. Dr. Mary Ashley Cain, high-risk OB-GYN at Tampa General Hospital, joins us to explain the process of labor and delivery, as well as specific protocols being taken to protect mom and baby during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Her assertion that, 'Nothing has changed. We are here for you, so come to the hospital. We got you,' made me sigh in relief.  This episode was inspired by my dear friends who have/will give birth during this unorthodox time. I think you're incredible; you got this, girl!

This isn't news but doctors, nurses, and all the support staff that are making our world go round right now, are AMAZING!  We take this episode to celebrate Dr. Cain, all of her colleagues, the front-line heroes and the extra-ordinary women giving birth to our future!

May you find peace, power and preparedness from this episode.

Til next we connect, I send you my love and gratitude,
