Pope to the Rescue

This may not be as medically oriented as most of my other articles, but discussing a woman who has had such a large impact on pregnancy in society over the last two years is just as important in my eyes.  I give you, Mrs. Rosie Pope, the head of her own maternity concierge service, couture maternity clothing line (Rosie Pope Maternity),  MomPrep classes for expectant mothers, and most recently the star of "Pregnant in Heels" on Bravo TV.  This strong, independent woman has never ceases to amaze me as she handles the joys and perils of motherhood in an often hysterical but sometimes tear-jerking way.  She coaches her patients on any topic from questions about trying to conceive through the toddler years.  Rosie's patience runs high when dealing with first time mothers .  She never babies them but rather hands them a firm dose of pre-natal and post-partum reality.  I'm a big fan of the show because she incorporates her story of problems conceiving to daily struggles of being a mom.  It feels like she's welcoming you into her life and truly practices what she preaches.  She was London born and came to the United States when she was 18.  Before she decided to dedicate her life to mothers and babies Rosie performed ballet at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, modeled for Italian vogue, studied Neuroscience at Columbia University and even work briefly as a private detective.  She got her foot in the door with a company called 'A Pea in the Pod' who she is now designing clothes for.  I could go on forever but all I really need to say is that I appreciate the perserverence, empowerment, amd relatability Rosie puts into pregnancy, an often scary but always exciting time for women.                                          https://www.rosiepope.com/blog/
