Continuous fetal monitoring isn’t the safety net it’s hyped up to be. Turns out, less can really be more. 💜 Evidence > fear.

🎁 Gifted Article:

Round-the-clock fetal monitoring leads to unnecessary C-sections. But it’s used in nearly every birth because of business and legal concerns, The Times found.

👻 Sleep deprivation? Terrifying. A mountain of bottles, burp cloths, and big feelings? Straight-up nightmare fuel.

✨Poll Time!✨

I just discovered Bitchstix, and I’m in love: the name (a nod to RBG), the mission, the whole vibe. They donate proceeds to support survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault so every swipe of balm does some actual good in the world.

Obviously, I need to share that magic with my clients. Because birth is hard, lips get chapped, and you all deserve something that feels a little badass in your hospital bag (or diaper bag… or purse… or glove box). 💋

Now help me out: which flavor are we feelin’?

Just a friendly reminder: the uterus is the muscle that houses and grows a baby, and the placenta is the temporary organ that nourishes it. They are not the same thing. If you’re unclear on this, you probably shouldn’t be drafting public health policies about pregnancy.

Some individuals wrongly assert there is a link between vaccines and autism. Before the claim was discredited, researchers took it seriously, investigated it thoroughly, and found no link. This research, in many countries, involving thousands of individuals, has spanned multiple decades. Any effort to misrepresent sound, strong science poses a threat to the health of children and does a disservice to the autistic community.

Immunizations are important to help children stay healthy, so they can learn, grow and thrive. If parents have questions about vaccines or autism, we encourage them to talk to their child’s pediatrician. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4nI0Rnb

There is no evidence at all that Tylenol causes autism.

ACOG reaffirms the safety and benefits of acetaminophen use during pregnancy.
More than two decades of research have found no causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children. Acetaminophen continues to be an important and safe option for managing pain and fever in pregnancy—conditions that can pose serious risks to pregnant patients and their fetuses if left untreated.
