Canada has been witnessing a large increase in maternal mortality. It is the only high income country to see an increase in the last decades. Nine countries worldwide have seen an increase.Why is this happening here? What does this mean? Why is this important for the whole population? What is the system doing about it?This will be a series.This is an important matter that impacts all of us, old, young, women and men.

Birth With Confidence 🤍What if preparing for birth wasn't about being told what to do—but about understanding your options and knowing you have choice?Birth With Confidence is self paced online course designed to help you feel informed, confident, and prepared for pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period made by Lyanne Pinto, a self-exiled midwife.Learn what labour can look like, explore your options and the evidence, understand where policy and evidence may differ, and build the confidence to ask questions and know how to advocate for yourself.Linkhttps://sites.google.com/view/birth-with-confidence-descript/home?authuser=1

There is no reason for MMR to be increasing in the high income country of Canada. When I use the word midwife, I mean all clinicians. As a prenatal educator, doula, nurse, etc what are the steps you can take to help move the needle from policy to evidence and choice? This is an important question to keep asking ourselves to reduce MMR.Stay connected, subscribe or follow meOn instagram: @lyanne.pintoOn spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VExN1mFc5dY...On Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from...

Here is a sinpet of my course. Here is a little bit of evidence, I cover in the course: Strong evidence supports skin-to-skin contact after birth as standard carehttps://www.cochrane.org/about-us/news/strong-evidence-supports-skin-skin-contact-after-birth-standard-care?fbclid=IwY2xjawR2qglleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFnck5MeFN1eFh4WEFlMnNjc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHu8hwEd8jXNBAPVpQVW2Xx9p3egQikJum5bwVQXP2MIX8Je2AjyRwsTqAap9_aem_O8qDRSkocMKnYdf-23qnsgThis article highlights massive global data proving why skin-to-skin contact (often called Kangaroo Care) should be standard care for all healthy newborns immediately after delivery. It improves rates of breastfeeding and length of breastfeeding, stabilizes vital signs and blood sugars for the newborn, lowers stress and pain (Lowers stress hormones and crying) and promotes deep emotional bonding and decreases risk of postpartum bleeding.There is so much evidence to have skin to skin with a baby that it is now considered unethical not to provide it.
