About this episode

The episode discusses the risks associated with pregnancy in historical contexts, particularly in Philadelphia, and compares them to modern advancements.

While not really a malady, Philadelphia shares the pure perils that one risks with pregnancy in her time. Gage and Jessica note that since then much has changed for the better while also noting it’s still far from without risk.
