Physicians and patients think rates of #birthdefects from medications is 20%, but it is closer to 2% #teratology pregnant people should be reassured to use meds needed to manage diseases #mfms need to reassure pts, medical colleagues #teamzebra @MySMFM #smfm24 @SarahObican

Always more to learn—- and as we learn more, it becoming clear that fetal diagnoses overlap and interplay genetically in ways we are continually learning from! #teamzebra . Also @ChrisHanMFM is the best speaker. Invite her. @UCLAHealth @MySMFM #smfm24

Again for the back— treat the patient in front of you, not the labs. #tsh doesn’t correlate to severity in #thyroidstorm. Fellow from Albany killing it! Amazing #thyroidstorm talk @MySMFM #smfm24 @ualbany @TaraLyn24108767 #teamzebra

#shocked #notshocked that there is #mysogyny everywhere and #afab people are doing the work for #amab people
Fun fact: most living organ donors are women, but most patients receiving said organs are men.

#fattyacid disorders and #metabolic disorders reviews make me feel like I am back in medical school. So important for mfms managing these pregnancies. #nerdlove #tooCool4School @MySMFM #teamzebra @SIMDtweets @howmuchphe @UCSFHospitals

I can smell rain. But, I have a friend that can smell ants. I also think she is lying.

Can people really 'smell rain' before it actually starts raining? My friend tells me that she can, but I have a feeling she's pranking me.

first fellow from @UCLAHealth giving case presentation #teamzebra for #smfm24 — #achalasia initially misdiagnosed as @Hyperemesis — despite 60 lb loss—pregnant people don’t only get pregnancy conditions — if data isn’t adding up look 4 other diagnoses!! @MySMFM @achalasiaaware

#rsv vaccine season ended 1/31 —but will be back! Pregnancy vaccination is CRITICAL to keeping little people out of hospital. #rsv is number ONE hospitalization reason for infants — and a major cause of mortality for preemies! #teamzebra @MySMFM @airisyc

#Covid is forgotten but not gone and remains a significant cause of pregnancy mortality. Placental passage provides infant immunity too! Also— turns out only people the love #acronyms and #abbrevs more than obs are virologists!! #teamzebra #smfm24 @MySMFM @BethisraelD @airisyc

#shocked /not shocked that ā€œfemaleā€ #crashtestdummies are just scaled down male dummies w/ no discussion of differences in muscular, ligamental, body composition or pregnancy, so #afab people and pregnant people are more likely to die in #mva than #amab @MySMFM #smfm24 #teamzebra

Turns out it’s not just holding up a golf club in the rain— lightning can move sideways, jump, and have a blast radius— and can hurt you all sorts of ways — from burns, to blasting your clothes off #teamzebra and unusual #trauma events in pregnancy #hollenbach @MySMFM #smfm2024

70% of rural Americans lack #broadband which prevents use of #telemedicine to improve #maternalhealth in #rural communities where #maternitydeserts are forming at alarming rates. @MySMFM #teamzebra presenting on telemed solutions to this right now!!
It would be disastrous if Congress doesn’t extend funding for broadband subscriptions. wxxinews.org/local-news/2024…
