Four years ago, The Study of Queer & Trans PREG was launched. We learned so much from the stories of devastating heartbreak, but also the pure joy and magic of bringing a child into this world as an LGBTQ+ parent, including the journey to form a family.
So we created part II.
Thanks @PinkNews for amplifying our study showing LGBTQ+ women experience disparities in perinatal mental health and may experience disparities in accessing perinatal mental health treatment
