👩‍⚕️In medicine, there’s always new research to understand and new guidelines to put into practice.

Last month the Low Risk Maternity Care team gathered for another retreat to review current evidence and advice for our patients.

A few takeaways:

➡ A major reason preeclampsia leads to severe complications or death is that people often don’t get care soon enough. Caregivers play a key role in teaching patients what symptoms to look for and why it’s crucial to seek medical care right away. A good resource for patients is

➡ Babies who weigh less than 2.5kg at birth benefit from iron supplementation. Iron is a vital nutrient that helps the body make healthy blood, supports brain development, and strengthens the immune system. Young children are especially vulnerable because not getting enough iron during early childhood can affect their brain growth and development.
Families can consult with their care provider to determine the amount and duration of iron supplementation as it depends on the baby's birthweight and to what extent they are breast and/or bottlefed. You can learn more in the Canadian Pediatric Society's Practice Point about Iron Requirements in the First 2 Years of Life.

➡ Testing for measles immunity may be considered for pregnant patients who were not vaccinated and are at high risk of exposure. In most other cases, testing isn’t recommended because one dose of the measles (MMR) vaccine already protects about 93% of people—and the routine schedule includes two doses.
Rubella is also a part of the MMR vaccine, and although we routinely check rubella immunity during pregnancy, rubella results do not reflect measles immunity. This means that someone who is not immune to rubella is likely still protected against measles.

📌 Our physiotherapist, Christine, talks about b**b pain. 📌

The pain that accompanies breastfeeding surprises many women. There’s the ‘toe curling’ ni**le pain that can come on quickly as mom and baby learn how to latch, and then there’s the b**b pain that can come and go throughout the breastfeeding journey.

It can be helpful to understand the overlapping conditions of mastitis, engorgement, and blocked ducts that cause breast pain.

In her blog post, Christine explains these conditions, provides practical tips, and describes the techniques that she can use to help relieve the pain and support your breastfeeding journey.

⭐ I saw this quote and immediately thought about our postpartum group programs. ⭐

While our facilitators provide information and support, that is only half of the magic of our postpartum group programs.

The other half is about building community. It's about..... meeting others who are also wading through the highs and lows of new parenthood,.. learning both WITH and FROM each other,.. realizing that we are not alone in our struggles and frustrations,.. celebrating our wins, both big and small, with new friends,.. shedding isolation and loneliness, and .. feeling safe and supported during a very vulnerable time.

Next sessions starts October 29th for babies both in August-October!

🏠 My Low Risk Maternity Care team has been working hard to build our postpartum home visit program. 🏠

As the first (and for now, only) collaboration of Family Physicians and Midwives in Calgary to offer postpartum home visits to our patients, we have been busy behind the scenes building the program to offer the best service for our families. We have learned a lot from the handful of Family Physician-Midwife collaborations across Canada, and we have tested and adjusted our processes, learning a lot along the way.

Last month two more midwives joined the Low Risk Maternity Care team. Welcome Robyn and Shannon! They brought with them boatloads of energy and dedication to the program.

It is so important for me to support the families that I care for in the early postpartum days that can be so very overwhelming and stressful. In the first couple of days after discharge we touch base with a phone call, and they have a visit with the Public Health Nurse. I am thrilled that they now have another touchpoint in their journey, with the option of a home visit before their clinic visit with me around a week of age.

Feel free to DM or comment if you have any questions about our program!
