@Unnecesarean 😂 Priceless!

[Jordana Frost, DrPH @lactodouladrph]

So #thankful for top-notch #healthcare providers like you @drterrimd who dedicate their lives to saving these fragile yet tenacious #preterm babies! #preemie #preemiepower #neonatology #NICU #strongbabies #prematurityAwareness @marchofdimes #research

I love the way @Eleni_Z_Tsigas of @preeclampsia defined the “Deadly D’s” of maternal mortality- Denial, Delay and Dismissal. Not listening to women’s complaints and instincts contributes to #maternalmortality.

Yes! The benefits greatly outweigh the risks. Talk to your prenatal care provider to see if low-dose #aspirin can help you prevent #preeclampsia and late #preterm birth! #pregnancy

[March of Dimes CT @marchofdimesct]

Can taking low-dose aspirin help reduce your risk for #preeclampsia & premature birth? For some women, yes. Talk to your provider to see if treatment with low-dose aspirin is right for you. https://t.co/VqcZiTcsb9 #PreeclampsiaAwarenessMonth

Where and with whom you choose to give #birth matters. Sometimes more than your own medical risk profile. Hats off to maternity care practices striving to change their organizational culture to improve safety, quality, and patient experience #BirthMatters #MaternalHealth #OB #QI

'“What we found was the value of feedback,” Clark said. Excuses disappear, he said, when data is broken down by doctor, allowing them to see how they compare to colleagues caring for the same kinds of patients in the same hospital.' #QISavesLives #QI

Let’s hear it for #doula care in #CT! Contact your state Senator to urge them to #voteyes on the amendment for #SB1078 which will be a first great step to help increase access to & utilization of doula care in CT! #maternalhealth @MarchForMoms @marchofdimesct @MaeFlexer @ppsne

Thank you @cmpettker @BirthNumbers @neel_shah @Unnecesarean for sharing the complexity of the #csection epidemic while also advancing solutions to help turn the curve! @DONAIntl @MCH_USF @ACNMmidwives @acog @MySMFM @cmmorosky @deckers_beth #cesarean #blanketchange #maternalhealth

[March of Dimes @MarchofDimes]

Thinking of having #baby no. two? For most women, it’s best to wait at least 18 months between giving birth and getting #pregnant again. Download our helpful birth spacing guide and fill it out with your health care provider: https://t.co/37dHkH9DeY

For every sleepless night, there's an unbroken smile. And for every difficult today, there is the promise of a fresh start tomorrow. Just know that you're doing *great* today and everyday. #YoureDoingGreatToday

It's that time again: Flu vaccines save mom's lives and protect babies from flu. Pregnant? Get the flu vaccine! Its safe and effective! https://t.co/QV3ovu8glb via @CDCgov @mysmfm @contempobgyn @gohofoundation @yalemfm

Some pregnant #mothers with #opioid use disorders may be experiencing extreme #isolation. Some don’t have anyone to accompany them through the #birth experience. This is another opportunity for integration of #doula care into our #MCH systems #RIDOHHealthEquitySummit

[Jordana Frost, DrPH @lactodouladrph]

While the amazing #doctors and #nurses are taking care of your #baby during their #NICU stay, you can draw support and answers from the @MarchofDimes My NICU Baby #App to help you navigate this life changing #journey. #youarenotalone #notalone

[Jordana Frost, DrPH @lactodouladrph]

Thank you @SenBlumenthal 4 introducing #MOMMIESAct. Expanding equitable access to #doulas and continuity of care coverage #postpartum is a great step forward. Would @birthcenters be included under the #maternity home concept? https://t.co/kN3dHy9w3d

[Every Woman CT @everywomanct]

Looking forward to today's #MCHChat at 12pm EST! Great lineup of partners and #womenshealth experts! @psictchapter @MarchForMoms https://t.co/BK19llPMtr
