My latest post: During the recent breastfeeding week here in Nepal there was much focus on the long downward trend in breastfeeding. Many people point to growing numbers of women in the workforce, which is one factor. But there are others, like a lack of counselling during antenatal and postnatal visits.

Laws that prevent discrimination related to sexual orientation can play an important role in improving maternal health among White women in general and Black lesbian and bisexual women in particular.

My new post is about maternal and child health in Sarlahi district in southern Nepal. Although I was pleasantly surprised by what I found, I was reminded of the roles that poverty and inequality play. Please share your feedback. lnkd.in/dRekBVRQ

"A study by the University of Colorado estimates a 24 percent increase in maternal deaths if the United States bans abortion federally. They predicted the increase would be even higher for Black patients, at 39 percent."

COVID-19 during pregnancy damages the placenta's immune response to further infections

"But what we're seeing now is that the placenta is vulnerable to COVID-19, and the infection changes the way the placenta works, and that in turn is likely to impact the development of the fetus"...
"Our study suggests that babies born to mothers infected with COVID-19 at any point during their pregnancy will need to be monitored as they grow up"

Something a little different for @ipsnews.
Tell me, is it both simple and comprehensive? I think that's the main goal with this type of article 👉 bit.ly/EXPLMatMort
