Put Republicans in power nationally and dystopian pregnancy care in "MAGA Mike" Johnson's Louisiana will become the norm from sea to shining sea. Republicans won't be happy unless there's a virtual MAGA overseer in every doctor's office.

In Louisiana, MAGA Republican state abortion restrictions are causing OB-GYNs to practice an extreme form of defensive medicine to avoid arrest.

(emphasis added)

In the wake of Louisiana's abortion ban, pregnant women have been given risky, unnecessary surgeries, denied swift treatment for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, and forced to wait until their life is at risk before getting an abortion, according to a new report first made available to NPR. It found doctors are using extreme caution to avoid even the appearance of providing an abortion procedure. "We were stunned by just how much regular medical practice for pregnant people has been disrupted," said Michele Heisler, the medical director of Physicians for Human Rights and one of the report's authors. [ ... ] In one of the most extreme examples of how pregnancy care has changed, doctors described cases of women who experienced preterm premature rupture of membranes (when the "water breaks" early in pregnancy, before the fetus is viable). Some of these women were forced to undergo Cesarean section surgeries to empty their uterus and avoid infection, instead of receiving an abortion procedure or medication. "Which is ludicrous, absolutely ludicrous," said Freehill. "The least safe thing that we do, no matter if it's early in pregnancy or full-term at your due date, is a C-section." [ ... ] In what doctors described as another serious deviation from standard medical practice, OB-GYNs in Louisiana are now delaying routine prenatal care until patients reach 12 weeks of pregnancy — the point at which the risk of miscarriage drops significantly. One patient interviewed in the report said several different doctors' offices wouldn't see her before 12 weeks. [ ... ] Physicians are also delaying treatment of miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy out of fear of breaking the law, the report found — as previously reported in news stories from states operating under abortion bans. Ectopic pregnancies — when the embryo implants outside of the uterus — are never viable, and they can even be deadly. [ ... ] Some hospitals have even told physicians that they can't give patients any information on how to get an abortion outside of Louisiana — because that advice could be construed as "providing" an abortion.

Believe it or not, things could get even worse in the state. There have already been reports at other news sources of OB-GYNs leaving Louisiana.

Louisiana already suffers from some of the highest rates of maternal mortality and morbidity in the nation. Black women in the state are more than twice as likely to die as a result of their pregnancy as white women. Nearly two-thirds of maternal deaths in Louisiana are among low-income women on Medicaid. Some doctors in the report said they have considered leaving Louisiana. Others warned that a possible exodus of OB-GYNs would exacerbate the state's existing shortage of obstetricians.

Considering how MAGA Republicans regard women as little more than baby-making machines, their assault on reproductive freedom ironically discourages pregnancies in the first place.

Antenatal care refers to the medical care and support provided to a woman during pregnancy. It is essential to ensure a healthy pregnancy and a safe delivery. Many expectant mothers might not understand the significance of antenatal care and neglect it, but it is crucial for both the mother and the baby.

Regular check-ups during pregnancy can help detect any potential health problems in the mother and the baby. This allows the doctor to take necessary measures to address the issues and minimize any risks. For example, if a woman has high blood pressure or gestational diabetes, her doctor can monitor her closely and provide treatment to prevent complications.

Antenatal care also helps in detecting any abnormalities in the baby's development. Regular ultrasound scans can help detect any structural defects in the baby's organs, limbs, and spine. This information can assist the doctor in providing the best possible care and treatment to the mother and baby.

In addition, antenatal care provides a platform for the expectant mother to ask questions and seek advice on various aspects of pregnancy. For example, the doctor can advise the mother on what to eat, what to avoid, and how to exercise during pregnancy. This information can help the mother maintain a healthy pregnancy and avoid any complications.

Moreover, antenatal care helps in preparing the mother for childbirth. The doctor can educate the mother on the different stages of labor and delivery, what to expect during delivery, and how to manage pain during labor. This information can help the mother feel more confident and prepared for the delivery.

In conclusion, antenatal care is essential for a healthy pregnancy and a safe delivery. Regular check-ups and scans can help detect any potential health problems, provide a platform for the expectant mother to seek advice, and prepare the mother for childbirth. Expectant mothers should make it a priority to attend all their antenatal appointments and take advantage of the medical support and consult Gynecologist Hospital.

Things You Didn’t Know About Breastfeeding

When breastfeeding works well, Mom and Baby always remain happy and thriving. But, this is also a fact that new moms always feel uncomfortable with, as it is their first time and they don’t have any ideas regarding its effects.

6 Surprising Facts About Breastfeeding

Don’t eat like a dietitian: You don’t need to eat like a dietitian when your baby depends on your breast milk only. You must add 500 calories to your daily meal in order to produce a good quality and quantity of milk. You need to make those calories count for the sake of your baby.

Belly may feel a bit of cramp: Breastfeeding your baby is not easy as it looks as you may feel pain and a bit of cramps that you might feel during your periods. This happens because breast milk composition changes to meet the nutritional needs of your baby. Diva Woman’s Hospital is one of the most famous hospitals in Ahmedabad. You can connect with us to get the best gynecology services in Ahmedabad.

Induced sleep: You may have heard or seen that a baby sleeps while feeding, but you may not be aware of the fact that mom falls asleep as well while feeding their baby. This happens because your body releases the hormone oxytocin, which calms your body and allows you to relax and have good sleep while your baby is also sleeping. proper counseling session regarding pregnancy and breastfeeding, then you can book an appointment with our Diva women’s hospital.

Products needed: You must be well prepared for breastfeeding before the baby arrives. These needs involve 3 to 4 nursing bras, 3 to 4 sleeping bras, nipple creams, milk pumps, nursing pads, and so on.

Leaks happen: whether it is day or night, your breast will definitely leak, therefore; you need to be ready with a convenient supply of absorbent nursing pads. You can consider using disposable pads as they will help keep you dry.

Thrush happens: Thrush refers to the infection on your nipples, and this can be harmful to your baby’s health. Therefore, if your nipples are itchy or red in color, then you might have a high chance of having thrush.

Facts About Breastfeeding Parents

Breastfeeding burns a lot of calories, which is about 400 to 600 a day, and hence you feel hungry all day. This also makes your brain happier as it releases oxytocin and prolactin. It has also been analyzed that parents that are successfully breastfeeding are less likely to be diagnosed with postpartum depression.

Facts About Breastfeeding Babies

New babies have a well-developed sense of smell and know their mama’s specific breast milk scent. This helps them recognize their own belongings and relationships.

This has always been the inevitable result of the strict abortion bans being enacted in these states. Even if the law gives lip service to the life and health of the mother, doctors will be afraid to act without prior authorization, and emergency or even urgent treatment will be withheld.

And while everyone already knew that those behind these laws don't give a damn about the women they hurt, I want all the sincere pro-life folk who believe in fetal or even embryonic personhood to watch the state level reactions to this very carefully. Because there are wanted pregnancies being lost here, babies dying if that is your belief, that could have possibly been saved if the healthcare workers weren't afraid they'd literally be arrested if they tried but failed. So let's see who cares and who doesn't, shall we?

Dental care tips to be followed during Pregnancy

There are a lot of duties associated with being pregnant, and dental hygiene is no different. Pregnancy and routine dental appointments are generally safe for most women; however, when scheduling an appointment, be sure to let your dentist know which month you are in. It's crucial that you take proper care of your gums and teeth during your pregnancy. Hormonal changes brought on by pregnancy raise the risk of gum disease, which can have an impact on the health of your unborn child.

Maintaining good dental health is even more crucial when expecting. Hormonal changes during pregnancy may make it easier for your gums to become sensitive and inflamed. An heightened reaction to plaque accumulation on your teeth could be the cause of red, swollen, or painful gums that bleed when you brush. Make sure to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums twice a day to prevent plaque build-up. Brush your teeth just after breakfast, right before bed, and once a day before flossing.

The best defence against gum disease during pregnancy is maintaining proper dental hygiene.

Brush at least twice a day, carefully and thoroughly.

Use fluoridated toothpaste and a toothbrush with soft bristles from a reputable brand.

Frequently floss

Get regular dental examinations. Plaque and tartar that cannot be eliminated by brushing will be removed by your dentist.

Consume plenty of citrus fruits and fruits high in iron as they help to maintain the health of your gums and teeth. 

Here are some other things to remember when you're pregnant:

Rinse your mouth as quickly as you can if you get morning sickness. Additionally, try a different toothpaste brand or a milder flavour if your current toothpaste is making you queasy.

During pregnancy, make sure to give your front and back teeth a thorough brushing. Be sure to brush the teeth and biting surfaces to prevent dental caries (decay), as well as the gumline to avoid pregnant gingivitis.

To lower your risk of cavities, wash your teeth once more if you eat a midnight snack.

Make sure you use a fluoride mouthwash after brushing and flossing your teeth.

Numerous illnesses and dental infections can be avoided with regular flossing and teeth cleaning with medicated fluoride toothpaste.

Rinse your mouth well after each meal to keep your teeth healthy and clean.

Eat plenty of calcium-rich fresh cheese to stave off tooth decay. Additionally, you will receive alkaline to fortify your teeth and minimise the effects of acid on your teeth.

Often sip water to keep your mouth feeling refreshed. Frequent vomiting causes the mouth and teeth to become overly acidic, which lowers the quality of teeth. Water removes 99 percent of dirt and acidic substances from the oral cavity.

Strengthen your teeth. Steer clear of sugary snacks. During pregnancy, sweet desires are not uncommon. But remember that the likelihood of dental decay increases with the frequency of snacking. If you enjoy eating sugary foods when pregnant, try to avoid candy and sweeteners with a lot of carbohydrates to preserve the enamel on your teeth.

Global Intrapartum Monitoring Devices Market, Forecast 2030

Intrapartum Monitoring Devices Market 

According to Pharmanucleus’s newly published report, the global “Intrapartum Monitoring Devices Market” is predicted to grow at a tremendous CAGR of 7 % during the forecast period 2023-2030. 

The market for medical devices used to monitor fetal and maternal well-being during delivery is the Intrapartum Monitoring Devices Market. These gadgets are used to monitor the birth process's progress and detect any difficulties that may emerge throughout the procedure. 

Electronic fetal monitors, maternal vital sign monitors, and uterine contraction monitors are common intrapartum monitoring technologies. Electronic fetal monitors track the baby's heart rate and responsiveness to contractions. Maternal vital sign monitors record the mother's blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs, whereas uterine contraction monitors to track the frequency and strength of contractions.

Market Drivers: 

The usage of intrapartum monitoring devices is expected to grow because of the great potential for technology adoption in developing countries caused by a rise in fetal health monitoring practices and an increase in birth problems. 

Furthermore, there is an increased demand for enhanced medical technology, governments are making significant expenditures to improve fetal health monitoring, and biotechnological firms are becoming more established in emerging nations. These reasons lead to developing nations' tremendous expansion in the healthcare industry. 

Furthermore, the cost-effectiveness of intrapartum monitoring devices is expected to drive market development. The growing use of fetal monitoring devices as a safety measure for their kid and increased awareness of the risks connected with birth disorders has increased demand for monitoring systems. 

Growth Factors: 

Intrapartum monitoring devices provide significant clinical advantages. 

The need for intrapartum monitoring devices has grown due to the growing need for better maternal healthcare and the rising incidence of complications associated with preterm birth. Healthcare spending is increasing in developing nations, and people are becoming more aware of the benefits of monitoring devices, providing market participants with greater chances. 

The market is expanding due to increased dangers and issues such as brain damage, cerebral palsy, newborn convulsions, and fetal death during childbirth. 

Increased usage of infertility therapies and rising incidence of preterm delivery 

Numerous studies have found high blood pressure, prolonged pre-labor membrane rupturing, antepartum hemorrhage, multiple gestations, urinary tract infections (UTIs), short cervixes, assisted reproductive technology, and placenta previa are all contributing to the rise in preterm births. 

Furthermore, due to the increasing frequency of preterm deliveries, current medical technology has been included in fetal monitoring systems. 

Restraints: 

The exorbitant expense of these devices and growing concerns about monitoring radiation influencing patients' health are proving to be significant impediments to industry expansion. A scarcity of skilled obstetricians in developing countries further hampers the market's development. Furthermore, many individuals in undeveloped and impoverished countries are unaware that such technologies are available. Furthermore, more women give birth at home in these countries, lowering the need for monitoring systems in hospitals and clinics.

Geographical Analysis: 

Geographically, the largest market for intrapartum monitoring devices is in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The market is predicted to increase significantly in emerging economies such as China, India, and Brazil due to rising demand for healthcare services and  a renewed focus on maternal and child health. 

Opportunities in Intrapartum monitoring devices: 

The increasing deployment of fetal monitoring devices is one of the market's significant potential. Fetal monitoring is a critical component of intrapartum care, and the rising incidence of high-risk pregnancies is driving demand for improved fetal monitoring technologies. Furthermore, increased demand for non-invasive and wireless fetal monitoring technologies will open new avenues for market participants.? 

The growing demand for point-of-care testing (POCT) devices is another significant potential for the intrapartum monitoring devices industry. POCT devices are used at the bedside to diagnose and monitor various health issues and deliver quick and reliable test findings. The growing requirement for speedy and accurate diagnosis during delivery is projected to drive up demand for POCT devices. 

Market Challenges: 

Despite the potential, the market for intrapartum monitoring devices confronts significant hurdles. The expensive cost of these gadgets is one of the primary problems. The expense of intrapartum monitoring equipment is frequently out of reach for most individuals in many impoverished nations. Another problem the business faces is a shortage of qualified healthcare personnel to operate and understand the data supplied by these devices.
