Benjamin Jackson+FollowCancer & Pregnancy: Minority Women at Higher RiskDid you know minority women with cancer face even tougher pregnancy risks? A new study found that Black, Hispanic, and other minority women with cancer are more likely to have complications like preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and even higher maternal mortality. The risks are especially high with breast and thyroid cancer—up to 30% higher! This just shows how important it is to have personalized care and real talk about risks if you’re in this situation. #WomensHealth #MaternalHealth #HealthEquity #CancerAwareness #Health10Share
Jason Weaver+FollowPandemic’s Shocking Impact on MomsJust found out COVID-19 made US maternal deaths spike way more than we thought. The numbers jumped for every racial group, but Native American and Black women were hit the hardest. Turns out, the pandemic pushed rates to their highest in decades, and even changes in how deaths are reported can’t explain it all. Makes you wonder how prepared we really are for moms’ health in a crisis. #MaternalHealth #PandemicImpact #HealthDisparities #WomensHealth #Health454Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowWhy Maternal Care in the US Is So BrokenYou’d think having a baby in the US would be safe, but our maternal mortality rates are shockingly high—worse than most other rich countries. The wild part? Over 80% of these deaths are preventable! The biggest issues: lack of access to care, mental health support, and insurance (especially after birth). Plus, Black women are hit hardest due to bias in the system. Real talk: fixing this means better access, more empathy, and actually listening to moms. It’s wild how much needs to change! #MaternalHealth #HealthcareAccess #SupportMoms #EndMaternalMortality #ListenToMoms40Share
Andrew Hutchinson+FollowRural Hospitals Are Disappearing FastDid you know over 140 rural hospitals have shut down since 2010? And now, some policymakers want to replace trained doctors with volunteers—seriously. The result? Sicker patients, dangerous births, and whole communities left stranded. Pregnant women are driving hours for care or going without. It’s not just a health crisis—it’s a life-or-death situation for rural America. We need real investment, not empty slogans. This is about more than hospitals; it’s about survival. #RuralHealthCrisis #HealthcareMatters #SaveOurHospitals #MaternalHealth #PolicyFail #Health20Share
Jason Weaver+FollowPrenatal Care Is Getting a MakeoverOB-GYNs are shaking up the old-school prenatal care routine! Instead of the usual 12+ doctor visits, they’re pushing for a more personalized approach based on what each mom actually needs—think fewer trips, longer visits, and support that fits your life. It’s all about making care more accessible and less stressful, especially with so many moms missing appointments or living far from clinics. Big change, but could mean better outcomes for everyone! #PregnancyCare #WomensHealth #HealthcareReform #MaternalHealth #Health60Share
