[Maneesha Agarwal, MD, FAAP @tarhealer]

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

[Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health @PolicyCenterMMH]

“Perinatal includes both postpartum and prenatal mental health, and you can’t really take one apart from the other because many of the disorders we see start in pregnancy and continue into the postpartum period, and pregnancy is a time when we can potentially

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 💙

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.

Time for a little #researchroundup: what's some new research in the maternal health space? 👶🧵

[Leslie Schrock @lesliejz]

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.

@tdkayode @ScriptHealth doing amazing things

[PartumHealth @PartumHealth]

@ThatDocStudent Integrating mental health is a massive step in the right direction, AND ideally we start in prenatal care way before a hospital is in sight and make it universally available and proactive. We are working on it @PartumHealth

[PartumHealth @PartumHealth]

Yes to integrating mental health into standard of care for pregnant families. And PT and lactation….. we’ve got work to do!

[Cecelia I. Nelson, PhD @ThatDocStudent]

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

@SmithsonianChan @Oprah @JennieJoseph Amazing to see this recognition! Congratulations @JennieJoseph and thank you @Oprah for elevating leaders in maternal health.

[PartumHealth @PartumHealth]

Yes to expanding Medicaid for postpartum care

[Black Maternal Health Caucus @BMHCaucus]

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!

[PartumHealth @PartumHealth]

At Partum we're passionate about easing access and affordability to all forms of healthcare for families, including contraception.

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
