The World Health Organization’s report "Transitioning to Midwifery Models of Care" highlights midwifery as a transformative solution to improve maternal and newborn health outcomes globally.

🌍 According to the report, midwifery-led care can reduce maternal deaths by 67% and neonatal deaths by 64% worldwide. This life-saving model provides essential care, reduces healthcare costs, and empowers families to make informed decisions about their birthing journeys.

✨ How can we advocate for the expansion of midwifery in the U.S.? What steps can policymakers and communities take to prioritize this evidence-based model of care? Let’s discuss in the comments! 🌟💛

Hyperemesis Gravidarum is NOT morning sickness. It's debilitating and can leave you unable to eat, drink or perform any normal activity for months.

When you have hyperemesis gravidarum, you vomit a lot, sometimes almost constantly. This can lead to problems like dehydration and weight loss. Morning sickness often fades by the end of the first trimester, but hyperemesis gravidarum usually lasts longer.

It generally strikes between the 4th and 6th week of pregnancy, and may be at its worst around weeks 9 to 13. The vomiting is so severe, most women are unable to go about their typical daily activities. Symptoms usually get better by the 20th week, but not always.
Doctors don't know what causes it, but they believe it's related to a rise in hormone levels.

Women who had the condition during their first pregnancy have a higher chance of getting it again during the next one. There’s no known way to prevent it, though taking a multivitamin before getting pregnant may help a little.

Planned Home Births Are Just as Safe as Birth Center Births!

� New research from Oregon State University analyzed over 110,000 births across the U.S. and found:
� Fewer Transfers: Lower hospital transfer rates for planned home births.
� Better Neonatal Health: Fewer NICU admissions compared to birth centers.
�Maternal Safety: Comparable rates of postpartum hemorrhage and hospitalizations.

Led by Dr. Marit Bovbjerg & Dr. Melissa Cheyney, this study confirms that home and birth center births are equally safe for low-risk pregnancies. Informed choices = safe, empowered care. �

At NACPM we’re committed to promoting equitable access to safe, community-based birth options and addressing barriers to midwifery care. �

“HypnoBirthing guides mothers as they align with their own capacity to be able to give birth gently, comfortably, powerfully and joyfully. HypnoBirthing philosophy will help you learn to embrace your body’s instinctual knowledge by relaxing into your birthing experience, and trusting in the many birthing gifts of nature that are already in place.” -HypnoBirthing, The Mongan Method
