  7. Most pregnant Indigenous women in Canada have drastically different public health care experiences than other pregnant Canadian women. Many pregnant Indigenous women still have valid, justified fears about systematic racism in public health care because most are still treated like shit. That is a fact. I refuse to give much praise to Canadian public health care until they actually do better, on this ongoing systematic racism issue - as well as doing better on masking up in all medical/health care settings. Eugenics in Canada is happening to this day - with ongoing systematic racism & lack of public health safety by medical staff, who should know better but aren't choosing to do better.

  8. University of Nebraska-Lincoln: More realistic content may reduce social media harms for new moms. “Scrolling through picture-perfect portrayals of motherhood may be doing real harm to moms, but a new study from University of Nebraska–Lincoln media scholar Ciera Kirkpatrick shows a ‘dose of reality’ may mitigate some of the damage.”

  9. Georgia Tech: New Mobile App Turns Phones into At-Home Fetal Heart Monitors. “Studies show that one in five pregnant women experiences perinatal anxiety, which is characterized by intense negative thoughts about their pregnancy. DopFone turns any smartphone speaker into a Doppler radar by emitting a low-pitched ultrasound and detecting reflected signals of abdominal surface vibrations caused by […]

    V
    Value family – Involve individuals who best know the woman with learning disabilities as they can provide additional information that may be helpful to the decision-making process.
    A
    Avoid making assumptions – Do not assume that because someone has a diagnosis of a learning disability that they cannot be good enough parents
    L
    Look for support – Professionals should not work in isolation and should involve learning disability services for further support and guidance.
    U
    Understand emotions – Take into consideration that many mothers with learning disabilities have their own anxieties and worries about motherhood and fear of judgment. Do not assume they are being difficult.
    E
    Establish reasonable adjustments – Professionals should put reasonable adjustments into place to ensure women with learning disabilities can comprehend and understand information to give informed consent. I.E. easy read, pictorials, large font, visual and hearing aids.

    M
    Mental Capacity – Do not assume capacity. In liaison with the Mental Capacity Act 2005, professionals should consider completing a Mental Capacity Assessment (MCA) to establish whether the women can give informed consent. Professionals should also consider best interest, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and involving an Independent Mental Capacity Advocate (IMCA).
    E
    Efficient discharge – Professionals should consider possible support that can be put into place to ensure a person-centered discharge is consolidated. Consider, access to health and additional services, transport, financial support and accommodation.

  11. Omfg. Read section 3.4 "Learning Disabilities support" on page 5. Literally everyone will be helped by these suggestions, not just diagnosed disabled people.
    mkuh.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads
    "3.4 Learning Disabilities support
    Although 7% of people with learning disabilities become parents ( Best Beginnings) the Equality Act 2010 obligates responsibility to service providers to ensure that reasonable adjustments are put into place to ensure the holistic needs of people with learning disabilities are met to the highest standards.
    Remember to think VALUE ME! (Appendix 1)

    1. Early intervention strategies should be considered. Ensure that the community midwife is involved and if they are under 20 consider discussion with the specialist teenage pregnancy midwife for additional support.
    2. Professionals should ensure that adequate time is provided for consultations, appointments and formal discussions. Taking time to allow the woman to understand the information in
    order to make an informed decision.
    3. Professionals should ensure that reasonable adjustments are put into place to aid with understanding. Including: easy read, pictorials, large font, visual and hearing aids.
    4. Abilities led practice rather than inabilities led practice. Professionals should avoid making assumptions based on a diagnosis of a learning disability as often mothers will have their own anxieties, fears and worries regarding motherhood.
    5. Avoid assuming that mothers are being difficult. Consider other possible reasons such as the environment, loud noises, bright lights (especially if they have a dual diagnosis of learning disability and ASD), sensory needs, stress and anxiety. Provide a side room if possible."

  12. Yale School of Medicine: COVID-19 Vaccines Not Linked to Miscarriage. “There is no association between the COVID-19 vaccine and miscarriage, a new Obstetrics and Gynecology study confirms. COVID-19 poses significant risks to pregnant women, but vaccination rates among this population remain low. Using data from the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD)—a collaborative network between the Centers […]

  13. First #overthecounter #birthcontrol pill heads to stores
    #Opill has been around for decades, but manufacturers have been working nine years toward making it available #OTC. This is first #birthcontrolpill that has been approved for use without a prescription from a health care provider. Like many other oral #contraceptives, it's 98% effective at preventing #pregnancy if taken correctly. A month's supply of Opill has a retail price of $19.99, less if you order 3mo or 6mo.
