Terrific initiative: a small but important recognition of pregnancy loss. Private sector will you follow?NSW becomes first state to introduce paid miscarriage leave for public sector employees https://t.co/DP02hp84RA via @SBSNews

Any NSW public sector employee will be able to access five days of leave if they lose a baby up to 20 weeks old through miscarriage, under the new measure announced in Tuesday's state budget.

Recently I was asked to talk to the topic “first do no harm” at the RANZCOG ASM - another example of change in practice with possible unintended harms?

Fewer than one in three mothers of twins in NSW go into labour spontaneously, with obstetricians believing it is safer for the child. But experts fear doctors are resorting too early and too readily...

The importance of looking for answers in times of grief. @CREStillbirth
smh.com.au
The number of stillbirths per day in Australia is the same as it was 20 years ago while other countries have reduced such tragedies. Where are we going wrong?

How can we best prevent the grief of such unfathomable depth felt by parents whose baby is stillborn? Please consider donating to Stillbirth Foundation Australia so essential research can be funded. Sadly this year there will be 2200 reasons why...

Support vital research into stillbirth in Australia.

A situation that is at odds with the “new Australian accounting standards” - at a time when the entire globe is looking for research to lead them out of a crisis how can we treat those who ply that trade so poorly
Did you know: When a research grant is awarded, the administering institution has to find an extra 20-40% of the value of the grant to cover overheads, simply so the research can proceed? The Job-Ready Bill removes the source of this overhead funding. That's catastrophic (1/6👇)

Significant practice change has occurred here on the strength of assumed short term benefit - use of late gestation steroids should be restricted to clinical trials until long term harms are excluded @DrKatieGroom
A change from Covid. Data on neurodev outcomes of steroid-exposed term-born children remain limited. Among 4128 discordant sib pairs, steroids significantly associated with mental & behavioral disorder. Time to be more selective?

After a weekend when we paused to remember the sacrifice so many have made for their fellow citizens, we hear in these times of those who would rather put self first and oppose #covidsafe . Download the app, keep us all safe

All pregnant women can be reassured that they will have a support person with them in labour and not be separated from their baby after birth unless it is unsafe.
Are you pregnant and due to give birth soon? Watch below to find out who can be your support person during labour and the process once your child is born. Things may be different during COVID-19 but we want to try and keep you and your baby safe.

Possible early encouragement here for Australia. This episode is a stark reminder to all of us in the acute healthcare sector that primary prevention is always the most effective intervention
