Being a mom is hard. Everybody knows that. We hear abt sleepless nights & diaper changes, not the profound identity shift of motherhood—a psychological Big Bang.

That's why @Gimletmedia & I decided to make Motherhood Sessions feat deeply personal convos: https://t.co/jvAiqdIS1g

@alexandra_sacks @Gimletmedia I wish it came back. This podcast got me through a lot in a pandemic pregnancy and Motherhood..and then it stopped. 😢 I miss this podcast the most.

@alexandra_sacks Pls retweet: With the Black Maternal Mortality Crisis we NEED to listen to the experiences of Black women. If you are a 18+ Black mother who gave birth from 2012-2018 who felt at risk while giving birth you qualify for my study: https://t.co/ABTSmXUcNL

Black women are dying in the US during their matrescence. Being deeply moved by the work of @OsopePatrisse, @KamalaHarris, @alexandra_sacks, @miriamzperez, I wrote some thoughts to join the conversation around how #matrescence can expand to discuss racism. https://t.co/tUPq4d8t86

[Neel Shah, MD @neel_shah]

Until very recently CDC didn’t reliably track and report maternal mortality

Doing so laid racism bare, compelling clinicians/administrators/white people to begin acknowledging & addressing racism in medicine.

CDC does not currently report/track police violence. Should they? 🤔

“Less whine, more wine.” But if all parents had that kind of support, then maybe “wine mom” wouldn’t be such a loaded term—and moms could enjoy the occasional glass of wine in peace."
