Kelly Whitehead

Biography

Kelly Whitehead, a self-described “dorky scientist,” is a microbiologist and a Mom who lost a son at 22 weeks. Two high-risk pregnancies followed – one traumatic, one smooth – both resulting in wonderful, healthy babies. Troubled by the lack of detailed medical and emotional resources available, she set out to write the definitive reference on the subject – geared toward women, their families and their doctors.

Kelly is also a spokesperson for Sidelines National High Risk Pregnancy Support Network and a trained birth doula.

Dr. Vincenzo Berghella has dedicated his life to helping women have healthier babies. A world-renowned maternal-fetal medicine specialist (perinatologist), he is a widely published researcher in prematurity-related issues, a professor, and a scientific reviewer and editor.
