💜 Today, we celebrate #WorldPrematurityDay2023 💜 Did you know that every year, over 10% of the 130 million babies worldwide are born #preterm, before the completion of 37 weeks of pregnancy? That is around 1 in 10 babies. Globally, preterm birth is the leading cause of death in children under 5 years of age. Additionally, preterm birth survivors may face a higher risk of developing short- and long-term health impairments, such as learning disabilities or hearing problems, compared to term-born Join us on #WorldPrematurityDay2023 in raising awareness of the burden of preterm birth for babies, families, and healthcare systems. #WorldPrematurityDay2023 #WPD2023 #Neonatal #Premature

Racism, and not Race affects women of color. We must go beyond talking about it, and take action. Action can be individual, as an organization, community/ society. 1. Patients should self-advocate. Write down your concerns. Speak up! Take a friend, family, colleague, or partner with you for clinical evaluation. 2. Learn the warning signs of #maternalmortality from #CDC or reputable societies like #ACOG 3. Community ownership is a big one. Communities must continue to speak up and educate the populace. Use events like baby showers, and sorority events to discuss important issues. Knowledge is Power! 4. Organizations and hospital systems are not left out :) 😄 Normalize discussions about respectful care, cultural competency, etc. The Cleveland Clinic Center for Infant and Maternal Health was created to address the above. We support at-risk birthing people and women during pregnancy and the first year of infant life. We acknowledge the role of structural racism in maternal and infant mortality and in addition to evidence-based excellent care, support our patients with: - Obstetric navigators - Community health workers - Perinatal Doulas. #blackhealth #blackmama #maternalmortality #maternalmentalhealth #maternalchildhealth #infanthealth
Racism in pregnancy care affects people of color every day. In our new expert view, an ob-gyn shares stories of Black patients’ concerns about being unheard and overlooked. Read this firsthand account of racial inequities in pregnancy care: https://bit.ly/3Iku0SK #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM

It is almost Mother's Day so let's talk about moms. In the U.S., there’s a striking gap in the time and resources allocated towards pregnancy versus the postpartum period. While a woman might visit her OBGYN 10-15 times during pregnancy, she’ll typically only visit once during the postpartum period. And while it’s commonplace for an expectant mother to take a birth education class, it is virtually unheard of for her to receive postpartum education. 88% of women feel unprepared to navigate the postpartum period. In New Zealand, after giving birth, moms can stay at a local birthing center, free of charge, where they will receive one-on-one care for them and their babies. In South Korea, eight out of 10 new mothers will stay at care centers, or a Joriwon, after giving birth. If you are pregnant, what can you do for YOU in your postpartum period? Can you ask for additional support in cleaning from family and friends? Can you setup meal delivery? #mentalhealth #therapy #wellness #postpartumcare #momsmatter
