If you've been here before, welcome back.

Today is Tuesday, November 7th.

We are recording this at 1022 Studios at industrious. My name is Jeff Dollar. Today I am grateful for LinkedIn.

My name is Kali Dollar and I am grateful to have a quote-unquote high- risk pregnancy because that means we get all sorts of

doctors appointments and we get to see our baby more than most people I think.

You say high risk.

You kind of said that with finger quotes.

And just to clarify, you're not downplaying it,

but the reason you're high risk is because you're old.

Older. Older.

Yes.

And it's funny because someone got really upset.

They were like, you sound really against women when you are saying stuff like that like you're saying that people

are too old to have babies I'm not saying that at all literally on my paperwork

at the doctor's office it says geriatric pregnancy so I'm just kind of like having fun with it but

truly one of the best parts is the doctor's watching like a hawk so we get these

amazing ultrasounds where we get to see the baby and that would not be, you know, insurance covered if I was not old.

According to whoever, whatever man made up that term because I could tell you right now,

no woman said, you know what we

should call women after 35 geriatric you know we should call women who've got

raging hormones and whose body is changing to look like it has never looked before.
