We are proud to announce Birthing While Black: A Hospital Guide, developed in partnership with Borne by @crwnmag and @trebordenco , and thanks to support from @irvineawards !
This beautifully designed guide was created to help Black mothers protect their voice, understand their options, and feel supported as they navigate pregnancy and hospital birth. Read the announcement at the link in bio.

The Preconception Medical Assessment, also known as #PreMA, is A FIRST STEP toward a healthy pregnancy. Aligned with one of #NationalWomensHealthWeek's priorities of prevention and addressing health risks early, this eight question quiz developed by the @casurgeongeneral helps you assess your health before pregnancy and identify your specific care needs during pregnancy

It’s #NationalWomensHealthWeek, a reminder to prioritize your physical, mental, and emotional well‑being. Staying current on age‑related screenings and having open conversations with your providers can support better health outcomes throughout your life.
This year’s #NWHW theme, "Prevention, Innovation, and Impact: A New Era in Women’s Health," highlights the importance of proactive, lifelong care. Share this with the women in your life!

Black women carry an “invisible load,” a reality we must highlight during #MaternalMentalHealthMonth. Throughout pregnancy and birth, this often looks like not feeling heard or protected and having to navigate a healthcare system that often dismisses real concerns, more often than it does for women of other backgrounds.
Improving maternal mental health means ensuring Black mothers feel safe, heard, and supported before, during, and after birth.
