New @NurseFetal publication! 📣

Our FTNN research group worked with Dr. Scott Lorch (@PennMedicine & @CHOP_Research), Janene Batten (@YaleNursing), and @KohariObMd (@YaleMFM & @YNHH) to explore disparities in the timing of fetal anomaly detection.

Please share your thoughts!

I'm excited to move into the candidate phase of my doctoral work and learn more about how we can support pregnant individuals following a fetal anomaly diagnosis. https://t.co/kp6XqrNvWt

@soccermusings @sportingkc this hire is wrong. Your team, KC, and the soccer community deserve better than this.

Trauma-informed care can help support parents with a baby in the NICU. Happy to share work that @HubDeMD, Patty Davis and I have collaborated on for the last few years @ChildrensMercy.

"If the parents want, however, they can have fetal surgery done at one of dozens of children's hospitals nationwide." ...It's not that simple.

1. "Dozens" is not enough for everyone
2. Major disparities in eligibility
3. Risks to maternal health

"Say parents discover their developing child has a neural tube defect, such as spina bifida . . . It is legal in most of the U.S. to kill children with this condition."

It's illegal to kill children anywhere in the U.S. @Newsweek this piece is spreading misinformation.
