"And the fact that miscarriages are more common for Black women isn’t comforting, it’s terrifying. It’s emblematic of larger societal issues — including a lack of adequate medical research — that Black people are disproportionately faced with this devastating situation." https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/black-women-miscarriage-too-common #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #miscarriages #BlackMastodon #WomensHealth

"The U.S. fertility rate fell slightly in 2025, to another record low, extending two decades of declines, according to federal data released on Thursday. The fertility rate — the number of births per 1,000 women of childbearing age — dropped to 53.1, from 53.8 in 2024, according to the National Center for Health Statistics." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/us/fertility-rates-decline.html #PublicHealth #fertility #ReproJustice #pregnancy #birthrates

"But the state Department of Public Health and Human Services postponed adding doula services to its Medicaid program in late March, citing a budget shortfall driven in part by higher-than-expected Medicaid costs." https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/doula-care-indigenous-health-medicaid-cuts-montana-tribe/ #healthcare #medicaid #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #doulas #RuralHealth #NativeAmerican #Indigenous #Cheyenne #CostsOfCare

"By the end of last week, more than 10 patients had been turned away and two scheduled procedures have been cancelled at the state’s only clinic for medication and procedural abortions. That’s after Gov. Mark Gordon signed a ban on most abortions on March 9, despite saying in a letter he expects legal challenges could find the new law violates the state’s constitution." https://www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/health/2026-03-17/about-a-dozen-patients-turned-away-after-last-weeks-abortion-ban #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #abortion #courts #wyoming

"In North Carolina, where a clinician practices can make all the difference for someone seeking maternity care...Dozens of counties have no local obstetrics care, so families are forced to travel long distances for deliveries. That distance to care for rural patients has been linked to higher rates of cesarean sections, preterm births and maternal complications." https://www.northcarolinahealthnews.org/2026/03/16/lawmakers-hear-how-rural-women-face-risks-to-give-birth/ #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #MaternalHealth #RuralHealth #obstetrics #NorthCarolina

Across a woman’s life there are three major physiological transitions: puberty, pregnancy/childbirth, and menopause. Medicine tends to treat them as separate stories. Lived experience often doesn’t. This essay explores a single regulatory pattern that reappears across these stages — sometimes as overwhelm, sometimes as crisis, sometimes much later as muscle cramps or autonomic symptoms — not as pathology, but as boundary dynamics under changing conditions. It’s about recognition, not diagnosis. About regulation, not “coping better”. And about why many women sense continuity where systems see fragments. If this resonates — for you, your daughters, or your patients — you’re not imagining the pattern. https://open.substack.com/pub/hybridmind42/p/boundary-transitions-in-female-physiology?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=75c2ac #WomensHealth #Menopause #Perimenopause #Puberty #Pregnancy #BoundaryDynamics #RegulationNotPathology #ListenToWomen #HealthLiteracy
