Shannon M. Clark, MD, MMS, FACOG

Welcome to my channel and be sure to hit “subscribe”!

I am a double board certified ObGyn and Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist focusing on the care of people with maternal and/or fetal complications of pregnancy. I discuss hot topics related to fertility, pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, and do a little myth-busting and fact-checking to keep things real!

Not only am I a doc, but I was also a patient who had infertility, a high-risk twin pregnancy and preterm delivery, and NICU stay at age 43 as a first-time mom--so I GET IT!

You can find more info from me on IG, Facebook and Substack @babiesafter35 and TikTok @babies_after_35!
