This image depicts so much, I see a woman grieving a baby she thought would be in her arms sitting next to those who have the very thing she wants the most. I have been this woman desperate to hide my grief for fear of upsetting others, feeling so much shame that my body failed me and my baby was quite literally dead inside of me. It doesn't have to be this way women and their partners deserve so much more regarding compassionate care in the health system. We absolutely should not be sat in waiting areas with other pregnant women. These hospital waiting areas seem to bundle all women's reproductive health together with no consideration for the very real trauma we are adding to women's experience every day. This image is from an incredible article from the World Health Organization around why we need to talk more about pregnancy loss, a key quote that speaks volumes to me is "How women are treated during pregnancy is linked to their sexual and reproductive rights, over which many women around the world do not have autonomy. " (WHO, 2020) It is time we took back our autonomy, we deserve better, without improved nuanced support specific to the needs of early pregnancy loss experiences we are adding trauma and exacerbating poor mental health outcomes. This is happening today in Australia don't make the mistake of assuming this is only happening in developing countries. I hear the heartbreaking devastating experiences of women who we support at The Pink Elephants Support Network every day. We are doing our part to drive change, we are advocating continuously and will not stop until the change we know needs to happen, happens. #pregnancyloss #support #miscarriage #systems #reproductivehealth #timeforchange #1in4

As an organization dedicated to advancing accessibility for individuals seeking #fertilitytreatment, Future Family is profoundly dismayed by the recent Supreme Court ruling in Alabama. Our mission is rooted in the belief that every individual should have the opportunity to pursue their dream of building a family, regardless of barriers or limitations imposed by external forces. This ruling not only undermines the fundamental rights of patients but also inflicts additional stress and uncertainty upon individuals and families already navigating the complexities of fertility treatment. We empathize deeply with their challenges. At Future Family, we firmly believe in the freedom of choice and advocate for policies supporting informed reproductive health decisions. Future Family remains committed to our mission of increasing accessibility and affordability for all individuals seeking to realize their dream of parenthood. We will continue championing individuals' rights and work tirelessly to ensure that no one is denied the opportunity to build the family they envision. Together, let us strive for a future where every person has the support, resources, and freedom to pursue their reproductive goals without fear or discrimination. #FightforFamilies #RESOLVEStrong #RESOLVESupport #AccesstoCare #AccesstoIVF #IVFAdvocacy #IVFJourney

The data show men are half as likely as women to receive birth control information or counseling, which could be due to societal norms and gender stereotypes. Addressing this disparity requires destigmatizing men's involvement in reproductive health, promoting comprehensive care for all genders, and tailoring outreach to better engage men in these conversations. https://lnkd.in/gtFEzxi2

With the surge in awareness among the young generation, around 40% of women in the age group of 25–32 are now actively considering and opting for egg freezing, a trend that is shaping the future of reproductive health. This growing trend reflects a broader societal shift towards valuing individual autonomy and long-term planning. Women are increasingly interested in having control over their reproductive futures and making decisions that align with their personal and professional goals.

Between 2000 and 2020, the WHO reports a rise in the number of women using modern contraceptives, from 663 million to 851 million. However, the proportion of women using contraceptives is lower in the 18–30 age group compared to the 30–50 age group. Female contraceptive methods play a pivotal role in empowering women to take control of their reproductive health and make informed choices about family planning. With advancements in medical science, there are now a variety of contraceptive options available to women, offering flexibility, effectiveness, and minimal side effects. @drvandanahegde For more info call us at 📞: 8880 747474!

For #contraceptiveaccess to ensure reproductive autonomy, reproductive justice, and gender equity is informed consent. Just as everyone should have the right to use contraceptives should they choose, it is equally critical that they also have the right not to. "But an increasing body of evidence indicates that an important public health tool intended to give women agency over their bodies is at times deployed in ways that take it away," writes Alana Semuels. This article places a horrifying spotlight on the coercion that is all too present in many of the programs & policies that define family planning access, calling out the racist structures that underpin our health systems at tremendous scale. #ReproductiveHealth programs & counselling must center the needs and wants of the patient. https://lnkd.in/ePsvezes

Family planning services encompass a range of healthcare options and information that help individuals and couples make informed decisions about their reproductive health and the timing of having children. These services often include access to contraceptives, counseling on fertility and pregnancy options, screenings for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and education on reproductive health. Family planning empowers individuals to plan their families according to their desires, socioeconomic situation, and health considerations, contributing to healthier families and communities overall. It plays a crucial role in promoting gender equality, reducing maternal and infant mortality rates, and fostering sustainable development.

#DYK? An African woman is 130x more likely to die from pregnancy complications than a woman in Europe or North America. Over half of all preventable maternal deaths occur in crisis settings. Despite progress in sexual and reproductive health over the past 30 years, these inequalities persist, as revealed by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) report. At CRAF'd, we are committed to leveraging data to address these inequalities and improve crisis response in fragile and crisis-affected settings. ➡️ Register for our open call here: https://bit.ly/4bBxXzF #CRAFdEcosystem #GenderData #DataforGood #DatawithPurpose
