#EveryWomanEveryTime says we need women's health as a priority, so that every pregnancy is a planned pregnancy, and women are in good health before they conceive... so that we achieve good maternal health outcomes for EveryMomEveryTime! #everymomeverytime

@MeadowGood You look amazing!

Great column by @DrJenGunter on drinking while pregnant. Spoiler alert: don't drink in pregnancy...not even a little. We don't know what a safe amount of alcohol is, it crosses the placenta, and the fetus metabolizes it at a slower rate than we do. https://t.co/iVn4Gl9jAt

A3 Black women are 3-4x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes & >50% of all maternal deaths occur in the postpartum period. #Paidleave gives women of color the support they need to access critical postpartum care. #wellnesswed #maternalmortality https://t.co/4JWQ7la5fq

#NationalWomenPhysiciansDay We have come a long way from Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell and Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler and still so far to go. I am proud to be a physician and will continue to mentor other female physicians. Let’s keep moving forward and upward together. #WomenInMedicine

North Dakota is quickly moving a bill requiring doctors to lie to patients seeking abortion. Medication abortion cannot be “reversed.” Political interference like this undermines the patient-physician relationship. #FactsAreImportant https://t.co/XfknX8tLhG

[Megan L. Evans, MD, MPH, FACOG @MeganEvansMD]

Another fellow physician was murdered by her partner. Women who are in violent relationships are 5 times more likely to die if their partner has access to a fire arm. #BreakTheCycle #ThisIsOurLane #GunViolence @MDEdgeObGyn https://t.co/6qfdUgH0hX

@MeadowGood You’re a fighter. You’ve got this! Thing disease doesn’t stand a chance!

A new HHS proposed rule places burdensome regulations on insurance plans to dissuade them from offering #abortion coverage. Take action today by submitting a public comment opposing the rule: https://t.co/s4UPATh9BK #obgynadvocacy

In #WashingtonDC DC with #ObGyns from around the country to help get a bill to reduce #MaternalMortality across the finish line. We must do better for our mothers. THIS.CANT.WAIT. #Act2SaveMoms

[Megan L. Evans, MD, MPH, FACOG @MeganEvansMD]

Come on #Congress! This is certainly something we can all come together for! #act2savemoms

#ThxBirthControl for helping my patients plan their families if and when they are ready (myself included)
