Submitted! I’m celebrating as it takes so much work and so few are funded. Even getting the grant submitted is a huge feat! Fingers crossed as it could help improve the mental health of so many parents, especially those marginalized and discriminated. #AcademicTwitter #PhdChat

Coloradans do not want politicians making their healthcare decisions. We will continue to choose freedom, stand against government control over our bodies, and will not retreat to an archaic era where the powerful few controlled the freedoms over our bodies and health decisions.

New article! We found 36% of youth in foster care didn’t receive adequate prenatal care, 17% reported at least one birth. These rates were even higher in younger youth and in black youth. https://t.co/nMs139gcJ6

Somehow I went from working on no papers to 3 revisions due, 1 new submission and an invited presentation…all happening at the same time. I’m grateful and also wish that the universe could titrate these opportunities a bit. #AcademicTwitter #phdlife #phdproblems

So happy that our paper “Development of the Circadian System in Early Life: Maternal and Environmental Influences” was Accepted with very minor revisions. I needed that today. I feel like publishing lately has been harder than normal. #phdlife #AcademicTwitter #phdchat

So important! Thanks for standing behind the importance of this. Hopefully this means a clinical guideline for screening and treatment from SOGC is forthcoming. @SOGCorg
Today we recognize World Maternal Mental Health Day. The global pandemic has only added further pressure and stress on mothers and expecting mothers. Speak with your health care provider for support. For more info visit https://t.co/QmHxRkpdAV

Midwives are amazing individuals. Thank you for your care and skill.
Today is International Day of the Midwife, but every day we honour the vital role of midwives in communities across Ontario & globally. Midwives are the driving force behind everything we do at the AOM & we thank you for your dedication & service, especially in these hard times.

Just a snippet of what we found from our national survey @canpmhc
Nearly 96% of survey respondents (perinatal health care providers across Canada, total N=435) indicated that perinatal mental health services in Canada are insufficient @canpmhc #maternalMHmatters
