About this Site

This site is dedicated to the Working Woman and all her needs during pregnancy.

It supplements my new book, The Working Woman’s Pregnancy Book, which is an up-to-date guide that addresses all the subjects you would expect to find in an authoritative book on pregnancy plus issues of special concern to the 60 to 80 percent of women who hold jobs during their pregnancies, such as:

· Is my workplace safe for my developing baby?

· When should I tell my employer that I am expecting?

· How can I handle the discomforts of pregnancy when I need to work?

· What laws will protect me when I take medical leave?

 

I draw from my experiences as an obstetrician and working mom, and from more than a hundred interviews with mothers ranging from factory workers to high-powered attorneys, to create a unique resource for working women.

    Hi Dr. Greenfield

    Due to Medical Mutual not covering your services, I had to leave your care behind 3 years ago. Since then I’ve been looking for a new doctor and have struggled in finding one I trust and respect. I guess I’m still very appreciative of the time you cared for me. You are such an amazing doctor - Thank you! Today I’m faced with a decision and my husband suggested I contact you, I’m not sure if I should do that via this site or if I should schedule a consultation appointment with you and just pay the out of pocket expense. Bottom line, we have two beautiful children and my cycles have changed drastically, from a lack of one each month to one every two weeks, then lasting for eight days. It’s really disrupting my life, I’m always tired, experience extreme highs and lows and am filled with anxiety. My new dr. just prescribed Femcon fe this wed, which I’m hesitant to take now that I’m reading poor reviews. The other alternative which she has presented to me is sterilization through novasure + essure. Bottom line I want to make the best decision for not only me but also my family.

    Will you assist me through this decision, whether it be electronic or in office?

    Thanks,
    Jaime Coyne (former Shuster)
