Pregnancy is a significant topic that affects individuals and families worldwide. Whether discussing maternal healthcare, maternity leave policies, or reproductive rights, petitions on Change.org address a variety of issues surrounding pregnancy and childbirth. Notable petitions include calls for improved access to prenatal care, paid maternity leave for all workers, and the right to make informed decisions about reproductive health.
One petition has garnered support for expanding affordable prenatal care for pregnant individuals, emphasizing the importance of early intervention in promoting healthy pregnancies. Another petition advocates for legislative changes to guarantee paid maternity leave for all employees, highlighting the economic and social benefits of supporting new parents during this critical time.
Join the movement by exploring petitions on pregnancy-related issues and adding your voice to the call for change. Your support can help create a more inclusive and supportive environment for individuals navigating the journey of pregnancy.
Family is a dying platform. If we don't keep what family values are left in today's world intact; our society will continue to rot. Children need the nurturing of loved ones not the forced bandaid of separation. Being taken from true family sites the child that they do not matter. This alone will cause them more trauma that will continue on to future generations.
I’m not pregnant and have not had a baby yet but I have learned so much through this account and feel so excited to know there are more options than just hospital birth. I thought the only way to birth was with an epidural. I was never taught any of this. I thought the only position you could give birth in was on your back. I’m 25 years old now and have learned so much because of access to this knowledge and imagery. It is not sexual, it is not explicit, it is the most natural thing in the world and hiding this info places shame on it. Make it accessible. Have it pop up on someone’s feed so one day it’s normal and not taking anyone by surprise.
I care about this issue because this account shows us what doctors in big hospitals won’t tell us about birth and our birthing options. We don’t always need a hospital birth for a safe and effective delivery!
Giving an expectant mother, emotional support and an advocate, in the delivery room. Isn’t some crunchy granola, new age, luxury option; it’s just basic Human decency and Compassion!
After many second trimester losses due to placenta related issues that may have been caught early enough, I fully support any & all attention for the placenta as currently our medical field hardly looks at it.
My first daughter was still born at 28 weeks. It was a normal healthy pregnancy until my wife felt decreased movement. We went to the ER and there was no heartbeat. Her placenta was extremely small. There needs to be more awareness around this in the USA
we lost our beautiful little boy at 36.6 weeks a week before meeting him all because the medical practice didn’t measure his umbilical cord even when i told them repeatedly that he did not move as much as he should all the signs were there we are shattered 😭 this was completely avoidable this should not be happening this day and age with medical technology and all they could say was sorry unfortunately they don’t measure the umbilical cord while it’s usually the placenta that can be result of stillbirths i don’t think people realise it’s also just as very important the cord is checked. As a result of our little
boy growing bigger towards the end of the pregnancy the cord was too short and he got stuck 😔
My son, Ezra, was stillborn on 6.1.2020. His death was preventable, and that will haunt me until the day I die. Please save other families from my fate, and update care standards to include EPV and updated fetal movement guidelines (e.g. Count the Kicks guidelines).
Labor and delivery is not a “one size fits all” experience, yet you would t think that when looking at the birthing options accessible to women here locally. Let’s take an opportunity to educate our healthcare teams and local mothers on the options truly available. Making water births an accessible option that women can choose without forfeiting their doctor or hospital care team will allow women greater confidence and autonomy in one of the most important and most unpredictable experiences in life.
