ICE is detaining pregnant and nursing women, despite a Biden-era policy requiring the department to restrict this practice and track who's in custody.

Pregnant and postpartum women in detention face:

❌ inadequate medical care and prenatal monitoring
❌ poor nutrition
❌ heightened risks of complications
❌ unsafe and unsanitary conditions
❌ trauma and chronic stress.

Detention facilities are not equipped to care for pregnant or postpartum women.

Good morning! It looks like we will have to take a rain check on today's doula walk, on account of the weather. It's a good day to stay inside and snuggle! Stay dry - we hope to see you next week!

We will continue to promote midwifery and advocate for more access to midwifery care in our community. The midwifery model of care is an evidence-based model that improves birth outcomes. We need more midwives!

"Midwifery models of care are models of care in which the main care providers for women and newborns, starting from pre-pregnancy and continuing all the way through the postnatal period, are educated, licensed, regulated midwives who autonomously provide and coordinate respectful, high- quality care across their full scope of practice, using an approach that is aligned with the midwifery philosophy of care, which:

i. promotes a person-centred approach to care;
ii. values the woman–midwife relationship and partnership;
iii. optimizes physiological, biological, psychological, social and cultural processes; and iv. uses interventions only when indicated.
In midwifery models of care, midwives provide integrated care, addressing the needs of each individual woman and newborn, within functional and enabling health systems, equipped with necessary resources and streamlined consultation and referral processes. They collaborate within networks of care as part of interdisciplinary teams characterized by equality, trust and respect. This approach guarantees that every woman and newborn receives personalized care, tailored to their health needs.

Midwifery models of care are adaptable to all levels of care and contexts, including home-, community- and hospital-based settings; the public and private sectors and public–private partnerships; resource-constrained environments; and humanitarian and crisis settings. This ensures wide accessibility, equity and relevance across different cultural contexts for women, newborns, partners, families and communities."
