No woman should face greater risks in pregnancy simply because of her race or background.

According to a recent article in Contemporary OB/GYN, women of color, especially Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic women, face significantly higher risks during pregnancy and childbirth: https://bit.ly/41KZMTb

These disparities aren’t due to individual choices, but systemic inequities: barriers to quality care, delayed diagnoses, and unequal access to life-saving resources.

At Life Tree Women Care, we’re committed to changing these outcomes by advocating for every woman’s health, providing personalized care, and ensuring that every mother feels seen, heard, and supported.

Ever wonder how your conception month connects to your baby’s birth month?

A pregnancy birth month chart can help you estimate when your little one might arrive, based on the typical 40-week pregnancy timeline.

Here’s how it works:
1) Start with your due date and work backward to find your likely conception month.
2) Match it to the chart to see your estimated birth month.

✨ Example: Conception in November often means a baby in August, while conception in February or March may lead to a November or December birth.

Remember, these charts are helpful for planning, but they are not exact since most babies arrive on their own schedule.

Questions about pregnancy planning or due dates? Call our office at (904) 379-2540.
