What No One Wants to Talk About: Death in Pregnancy & the Story of Hailey Okula

No one wants to talk about it—but we need to.

The tragic death of ER nurse and influencer Hailey Okula, just hours after giving birth to her IVF-conceived son, has left countless women grieving, fearful, and full of questions.

This week on Sperm Meets Egg, we open the conversation that too often gets pushed aside:

Why are women still dying during pregnancy—and what do you really need to know to stay safe?

Dr. Mark Amols and Dr. Wael Salem explore:

✤ The real statistics behind maternal mortality

✤ The most common—and rare—causes of death during pregnancy

✤ The truth about amniotic fluid embolism (AFE)

✤ And why fear shouldn't guide your fertility journey

This episode is part tribute, part truth-telling, and entirely focused on giving you the tools to navigate pregnancy with knowledge and confidence.
