The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) represents the interests of high-risk pregnancy experts and the families they serve.
- Congratulations to Dr. Laura Riley, the 2022 winner of the @MySMFM Lifetime Achievement Award Winner! @obdocriley #smfm22
- Protect pregnant people through research, not from research. ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฝ๐๐ป @jackie_parchem
- New data released today from @CDCgov demonstrates that pregnancy-related deaths for black women with at least a college degree are 5 times higher than white women with a similar education.
- Physicians, midwives, nurse practitioners, nurses, and researchers agree - the Supreme Court's decision to restrict access to abortion care will lead to unnecessary patient suffering and harm. Read our joint statement: bit.ly/DobbsJointStatโฆ #ActforAccess
- "The woman who carried that baby happens to be an important part of the equation as well. She is just as important and is so much more than a vessel or an incubator. A healthy baby is not the only end goal." #FourthTrimester #PostpartumCare
- We partnered with @BirthEquity to develop, "Strategies to Overcome Racism's Impact on Pregnancy Outcomes." Use this image in slide decks, print it & hang it in your institution, or share on social media. ww.smfm.org/equity #RacismNotRace @MarchForMoms #BeyondMothersDay
- Our thoughts are with the family, friends & colleagues of Dr. Adeline Fagan, an ObGyn resident in Houston, who died from #COVID19 complications over the weekend. For those who knew & loved Dr. Fagan, for all of the #HealthCareHeros, be safe & #WearAMask. bit.ly/2RMrpGY
- Leave the science to scientists. Maternal-fetal medicine physicians encourage all pregnant people to get vaccinated. #COVID19 vaccines are safe in pregnancy donโt cause miscarriages & are the best way to protect pregnant people and their families from COVID19.I have talked to multiple women who say they miscarried healthy pregnancies after taking the #COVID19 vaccine. Not only miscarriages, but also reporting blood clots and heavy & irregular periods after taking the Experimental Use Covid vaccine. Stop vaccine mandates!
- Texas has one of highest rates of maternal mortality in the U.S. with significant racial disparities. Together with @DemocracyFwd we are demanding that the state stop breaking the law and release its maternal mortality and morbidity data. #ReleaseTheReport
- We're proud to announce the newly elected members of our Board of Directors: Shad Deering, MD; Andrea Edlow, MD, MSc; Juan Gonzalez, MD, PhD; & Sarah Osmundson, MD, MS. Each person offers an impressive history of volunteer service to @MySMFM & will begin their term in Feb 2023.
- Roses are red. Violets are blue. Medicaid for a year after birth Will save moms, itโs true. #HealthPolicyValentine s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.smfm.org/mโฆ
- We released a new publication, "Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Pregnancy: What Maternal-Fetal Medicine Subspecialists Need to Know." Access it at no cost: smfm.org/covid19 #Coronavirus #COVID19 #GlobalPandemic #CoronaVirusUpdate
