Hiii SMFM 😍

Ok what did I miss at #smfm23 today? Can’t wait to arrive Wednesday!

So proud to be a part of a professional organization truly committed to equitable representation of its members in leadership. SMFM #DEI #SMFM23

Don’t forget to follow #SMFM23 and SMFM for tweets on all oral abstracts presented today. Let’s get these plenary sessions! My tiny MFM is ready with me!

4:30am call night thoughts… remembering how cool #SMFM23 was because of the great science, meeting leaders in the field, seeing old friends and colleagues but … maybe the best part was finding out the identity of OB/GaYN🌴🥥 IRL

1/ Since @nc_gop wants to do my job so bad, why don’t you come sit in the exam room with me, you tell my patient, how bc of her heart condition, pregnancy poses a significant risk to her life, estimated risk of mortality is 50%, and watch her cry because she has kids at home

Congratulations to one of my personal mentors and heroes, truly a model for grace under pressure and all around fantastic clinician, researcher, and friend. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
