"American women are more than three times as likely as Canadian women to die in the maternal period (defined by the Centers for Disease Control as the start of pregnancy to one year after delivery or termination), six times as likely to die as Scandinavians. In every other wealthy country, and many less affluent ones, maternal mortality rates have been falling; in Great Britain, the journal Lancet recently noted, the rate has declined so dramatically that “a man is more likely to die while his partner is pregnant than she is.” But in the U.S., maternal deaths increased from 2000 to 2014. In a recent analysis by the CDC Foundation, nearly 60 percent of such deaths were preventable."

The U.S. has the worst rate of maternal deaths in the developed world, and 60 percent are preventable. The death of Lauren Bloomstein, a neonatal nurse, in the hospital where she worked illustrates a profound disparity: the health care system focuses on babies but often ignores their mothers.

What do you think about male birth control? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

"Guha's technique for impairing male fertility relies on a polymer gel that's injected into the s***m-carrying tubes in the sc***um. The gel, which has the consistency of melted chocolate, carries a positive charge that acts as a buffer on negatively charged s***m, damaging their heads and tails, and rendering them infertile."

Developers of a new male contraceptive have so far been unable to find a company to sell it.

Baby boxes are coming to the US!

"This week, Alabama will join Ohio and New Jersey in making free baby boxes available to the families of all newborns in the state. Parents watch online videos about SIDS and safe sleep and complete a short quiz. They can pick up a box at a local distribution center or have it mailed to them. The sturdy, portable box comes with a firm foam mattress and tight-fitting sheet; also included are breastfeeding accessories, a onesie, diapers and wipes."

At birth, the brains of human babies are highly underdeveloped compared to other primates. Babies born prematurely are particularly sensitive to touch in terms of its potential to create changes in long-term sensory development. This research has huge implications for the ways premature infants are treated in medical settings. Important AND adorable 👶 👶🏻 👶🏼 👶🏽 👶🏾 👶🏿

Early medical procedures can dampen a child’s ability to perceive touch in the long run.

Props to Justin Trudeau for being our #1 feminist crush.

"Trudeau, a proud feminist who was appointed an ambassador for gender equality by the United Nations, said more men should follow his lead and push for women’s rights."

But advocates call for more subsidized child care spaces, a national strategy to end gender-based violence and a new law to ensure men and women get equal pay for work of equal value.
