Officially halfway through maternity leave (6wks). How do women return to work at this point or even earlier??? My body is still healing. Showers are rare, meals eaten cold, sleep not happening. What we do to postpartum women in the US is insane & inhumane.

Research supports early intervention and recognition of the need for mental health support both in pregnancy and postpartum

DYK patients with high blood pressure issues during #pregnancy AND those with no prior #hypertension can develop #preeclampsia after the #birth ?! Consider a #bloodpressure cuff on your #babyshower registry. Not as cute as a onesie, but might be lifesaving 💙
Any woman can develop #preeclampsia after the baby is born, even if the #pregnancy was not complicated by any complications. #postpartum

Just a few points I made during my lecture today titled, The Importance of Black Midwifery: Then and Now. The erasure of the Black Traditional Midwife was a calculated and strategic effort between White male obstetricians and White female public health nurses.

Women control 80% of all healthcare decisions, comprise the majority of healthcare workers, yet only 8% of VCs are women and just 2% of capital goes to female founders. This has to change.

Yes to integrating mental health into standard of care for pregnant families. And PT and lactation….. we’ve got work to do!
Are there any hospitals out there that have a psychologist integrated into OB/maternal fetal medicine? After going through pregnancy, labor, and delivery, I can think of several points where mental healthcare would be beneficial to all patients through the process. /1

Yes to expanding Medicaid for postpartum care
1 in 3 maternal deaths take place between one week and one year after the end of a pregnancy. We must expand postpartum Medicaid coverage from 60 days to 1 year in every state!

We mourn with those whose loved ones were injured, killed and traumatized by yesterday’s mass shooting in Highland Park, Ill. during a Fourth of July parade. Gun violence continues to turn otherwise routine childhood experiences into sites of terror and trauma. @illinoisaap 1/4

The just-announced U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization represents a stunning reversal of precedent that inserts government into the personal lives and health care of Americans. nej.md/3Aa5cKe

Great article summarizing the reality of how pregnancy affects health, which is a critical part of the conversation around maternal care, abortion care and contraceptive access.

Research shows that 1 in 5 birthing individuals experience anxiety, depression, or mood disorders during or after pregnancy. For those in the LGBTQ+ community, getting treatment for maternal mental health is even more difficult. A thread 👇: #LGBTQ #pridemonth #maternalcare
