On Earth Day, check out our educational resources at The Collaborative for Women's Environmental Health on the impact of key environmental exposures on pregnancy (heat, air pollution, plastics- phthalates & phenols, PFAS) in Spanish & English. https://t.co/HFnIF54nnm…
It’s Maternal Health Awareness Day. We need more funding of OBGYN research. We need Medicaid coverage. We need fewer maternal health care deserts. We need access to safe abortion. We need less of threatening jail time for OBGYNs doing their jobs. #maternalhealthawarenessday
Traffic-related air pollution can significantly impact pregnancy outcomes, leading to difficulties for mothers and babies. @UTSW_ObGyn expert David B. Nelson, M.D., explains the link between traffic-based air pollution and neonatal complications. https://t.co/sfQ4ZsuhBx #utswnews
Traffic-related air pollution is associated with spontaneous extremely preterm birth and other adverse perinatal outcomes Severity of spontaneous preterm birth associated with an interquartile increase in full-pregnancy average NO2 exposure https://t.co/wLsuy8IIM6

When discussing #ReproHealth, abortion or policies that impact abortion, avoid language that's inherently biased, inaccurate, or not medically appropriate. @ACOG's guide helps inform the use of medically appropriate, clinically accurate, unbiased language: https://t.co/NKaqd4fBlz
Tonight's decision from #SCOTUS re-imposing the FDA's needless in-person dispensing restriction for mifepristone disregards the abundance of medical evidence that proves the safety of medication abortion: https://t.co/Q5bgDG9O4T 1/
I’m quickly learning that intern year (especially this MICU month) has the potential to leave me feeling slightly numb at times from exhaustion. Thankful for this gift from a med school mentor to remind me why we put all this time in. #gohopmed#MedTwitter
@AnnaShinMD I’ve heard that a lot of posterior pressure with the speculum is also helpful with these patients, but I agree, I often feel like I am causing some harm by the nature of the exam despite it being essential.
3 weeks and 39 deliveries later I’m feeling energized/sleepy/grateful for an amazing nights team, wonderful patients, and an incredible program to be learning so much from @Parkland 🤰🏽🤱🏽👶🐭 #obgyntwitter
@ZachLorenz3 I had an ICU attending who challenged us to add one component of the patient’s life into our one liner. Humanizing people by sharing their livelihood makes so much of a difference in attitude/perception
Beyond the #MedBikini issue of deciding what a surgeon/physician looks like, let's not miss that advocating for our GSW and control-over-reproductive-health-seeking patients was considered unprofessional #thisismylane Respectful advocacy is an important part of patient care.
Important work by some of my faculty, coresidents, and MFM department. Hopefully these findings will help reduce disparities in access to safe, effective contraception. #MedTwitter#WomensHealth
So excited to have our work published in the @greenjrnl this month. Hopefully, this will encourage providers to offer tubal ligation after vaginal delivery to anyone regardless of BMI.
