There’s so much to learn about women’s health and still so much to discover. There are facts that I did not learn until I was 28 years old working for an OB company. Many of us learn more about the female body during pregnancy or preparing to conceive. Why is that? There is power in knowledge, so let’s start learning now. Let’s start asking the questions, getting the answers, and understanding what makes our bodies, emotions, and minds unique and wonderful. Let’s talk about #womenshealth #Pregnancy #IVF #women #Healthcare #Obstetrics #Gynecology
Building a strong foundation for women's health begins long before pregnancy preparations. ✨ At Laborie, we advocate for proactive care and education starting from early adulthood. We empower women to be educated on #womenshealth sooner rather than later. Let's shift the focus from reactive to proactive healthcare, laying the groundwork for a lifetime of knowledge and wellness surrounding women's health. #supportwomenshealth #obstetrics #support #healthequity #healtheducation #healthinnovation
