Mother Goose Health

At Mother Goose Health, we are deeply committed to improving maternal health outcomes in rural communities. Last week our leadership team contributed to the development of innovative models to meet the unique needs of rural communities at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Rural Health Hackathon in Wilson, North Carolina. Maternal health outcomes in rural communities across the U.S. continue to fall short, with women facing unique challenges such as limited access to care, transportation barriers, and shortages of maternal healthcare providers. This gap in care often leads to higher rates of maternal mortality and poor outcomes for both mothers and babies. We look forward to continuing to work closely with leaders across rural communities to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. #RuralHealth #HealthcareInnovation #MaternalHealth

Proud to share our latest blog post, diving deep into the critical need to enhance maternal healthcare across the U.S., especially for marginalized communities. The data speaks volumes—over 80% of maternal deaths in the U.S. are preventable, and yet the current fragmentation of our healthcare systems leaves too many mothers and babies at risk. The blog highlights the urgent need for comprehensive prenatal care, supported by digital innovation and telehealth, to bridge the gap in access and ensure every mother receives the care she deserves. From addressing common causes of hospitalization during pregnancy to showcasing the positive impact of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and telehealth, we explore how early intervention and continuous monitoring can lead to healthier outcomes for mothers and babies alike. This is more than just a healthcare issue; it's a societal imperative. By investing in quality prenatal care and leveraging technology, we can not only save lives but also reduce the economic burden of maternal morbidity, which currently costs the U.S. $32.3 billion annually. Let's continue to push for a healthcare system that works for everyone, ensuring that no mother is left behind.

📢 New Blog Alert: Managing Substance Use in Maternal Health Substance use during pregnancy is a pressing public health issue that affects both mothers and their unborn children. In our latest blog, published on August 6, 2024, we delve into the complex interplay between substance use, maternal health, and societal factors. Key Insights: - Around 5% of pregnant women in the U.S. use addictive substances, including tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs. - Substance use poses severe risks such as fetal growth restriction, birth defects, and neonatal health complications. - Economic impacts are substantial, with costs ranging from $750,000 to $1.4 million per affected infant. 👩⚕️ Call to Action: Universal screening and inclusive, non-judgmental care are crucial. Stigma and the threat of criminalization deter many mothers from seeking necessary help. 🌟 Mother Goose Health's Approach: We provide comprehensive, compassionate care, offering 24/7 support and seamless access to essential services. Our innovative model with proprietary rising-risk detection has led to a 55% reduction in preterm births among our users.

Thanks to advancements in medical and surgical treatments in recent years, the demographic profile of pregnant women has shifted dramatically. With a rise in the number of older expectant mothers, including those in their 30s and 40s, there is an increased prevalence of acquired cardiovascular disease (CVD) during pregnancy. This demographic shift, combined with multiple cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and pre-eclampsia, has heightened the risks associated with pregnancy.

Doula appreciation post ‼ ‼ 🔊🤰❣ 🙏🏿 👏 Roughly 98% of American women give birth in a hospital setting. When you visualize the birthing experience, what do you see? For most, it's a hospital bed and an army of skilled clinicians such as Labor and Delivery nurses, OB/GYNs, Midwives, and perhaps a loved one(/s) to offer moral support and a hand to hold. These highly trained medical professionals are essential for monitoring labor progress, administering pain relief, managing complications, offering support, and performing clinical interventions when necessary. Each has a unique role, but did you know that there's another type of expert who can complement the medical care aspects? Those experts would be #doulas. Doulas provide emotional, physical, and educational support to women and their families throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They focus on comfort measures and patient advocacy while providing continuous presence throughout the labor and delivery process and the early stages of adjusting to parenthood. Research has shown that having a doula present during labor and childbirth reduces the rate of C-sections, shortens labor, reduces the need for pain relief medications, and increases overall patient satisfaction. They are instrumental in providing personalized, patient-centric care during one of the most profound journeys: bringing new life into the world. Mother Goose would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all doulas for being there every step of the way. Your dedication, empathy, and compassion make an immeasurable difference for birthing people and their loved ones.
