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.

Ongoing research into #LGBTQHealth is crucial, as noted in this piece by @HarvardChanSPH on a study led by @DeptPopMed researchers: one of the 1st to document perinatal mental health outcomes across sexual orientation groups in a national sample.

Forming a family as an LGBTQ+ person is often an incredibly expensive & painstakingly long journey. Conception experiences can set the stage for our experinces & health outcomes during pregnancy & postpartum. We want better for our community during this vulnerable life experience
