I am going to from now!!

Congratulations to all the grads and Deborah Robertson Azra Liz Miazga @AndreaSimpsonMD

I wish people stop romanticising pregnancy! It can be pleasant to some people but other may struggle with lots of medical issues and for some it may be life threatening also!

Absolutely heartbreaking! No words!

Emergency Caesareans are associated with increased risk of recurrent early preterm birth. “over 3000 excess preterm births & 1000 fetal deaths in the UK…keep a balanced view of risk/benefit around em CS, and not to lose operative vaginal delivery skills” eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

That’s the whole point!

Second stage section is definitely not a walk in the park with regards to immediate and long term morbidity. Define need to focus on more training in instrumental deliveries

The reduction in SB rate is completely offset by the ethnicity specific increase in SB ! Disappointing!

I spoke to Kelly Skjerven at @torontostar about CoverContraceptiON and advocating for no-cost contraceptives in Ontario! Read all about it - Birth control will soon be free in B.C. Will Ontario follow? thestar.com/news/canada/20… via @torontostar

Hundreds of doctors, nurses and health workers just went to Queen’s Park to tell Doug Ford to reverse his cruel cuts to healthcare for uninsured people that go into effect tomorrow. We cannot play with people’s lives. We need #healthcare4all. #onpoli

Complications due to covid -19 was the leading cause of maternal death. As of the higher mortality in colored women.. that continues!!

Nice read! I thought it was too quick to recommend this as efficacious! Not questioning the safety though

👍 @AndreaSimpsonMD for highlighting recent data on gender equity. Equitable healthcare includes funding ORs 🟰ly for all.

A call to *centre* values such as anti-oppression, anti-racism and social justice *in the practice of medicine* means supporting MDs to obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to address the shameful chasm in health outcomes for Black and Indigenous peoples... /1

This is important “balanced consideration of maternal safety with rapidity of delivery, encouraged process-based approaches, and proposed standardization of terminology regarding delivery urgency”

Omg! So much needed. Thank you for saying this. Please don’t demonize mothers if they have or opt to deliver by section.

My wonderful colleagues!!

ICYMI Saturday, the #SOGC held an Assisted Vaginal Birth Master Class on site in Edmonton! Courses such as these are a great opportunity for practicing Ob-Gyns to improve and refine their skillsets, for more info: sogc.org/en/en/content/…
