#MuMPreDiCT #research findings on multiple long-term conditions & #pregnancy from our #Dissemination #Event on 🧬Epidemiology, 🏥Healthcare Challenges, 💊Medication & Polypharmacy & 👶LongTerm Health. 🧬#Epidemiology 🧬1 in 4 women enter pregnancy with 2 long-term conditions, often a mix of physical and mental health conditions. 🧬Higher prevalence in deprived areas, with mental health conditions as a major contributor. 🧬🗣️"Mental health often exists alongside physical conditions, making care even more complex." 🏥#Healthcare #Challenges 🏥 Fragmented care forces women to become their own care navigators. 🏥 Postnatal care is often missing, leading to worsened long-term health outcomes. 🏥🗣️ "When I had my baby, the support stopped. I was just left to manage on my own." 💊#Medication & #Polypharmacy 💊1 in 4 pregnancies involve prescriptions for 2 medications in the first trimester (1 in 2 women when they have multiple health conditions). 💊Many women stop essential medication due to fear and unclear advice. 💊🗣️ "We have many signals to go through. It is not possible to look at every single one in detail, but largely, the study tells us medicines 'most of them' are safe. The challenge is that #absence of #evidence #does #not #mean evidence of #no #harm." 💊🗣️ "I was so scared my medication would harm my baby, no one could give me clear answers." 👶#Beyond #Pregnancy – #LongTerm #Health 👶Pregnancy complications are early warning signs for future health risks 👶Better postnatal care, follow-up, and routine health checks are needed 👶🗣️ "There was so much focus on my baby, but no one asked how I was doing after birth." The MuMPreDiCT Dissemination Event showcased how #women’s #voices have been at the heart of our research from the very start. A huge thanks to Rachel Plachcinski, my fellow PPI co-investigator, for highlighting our #Patient and #Public #Involvement work! @Nirantharakumar @JohtChandan @meghasingh_16 @StevenWambua @JohtChandan @IngLee17 @shanley29 @nelson_piercy @zoe_vowles @amaya_azcoaga @BeckTaylorPH @hfhope @anuradhaa_s @cwcyau #IWD2025 #InternationalWomensDay #MuMPreDiCT #PPI #WomensHealth #MaternityResearch #LongTermConditions #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth #ChronicDisease #BRIDGE4WomensHealth #ReproductiveHealth #lived #experience #PatientInvolvement

📢#MuMPreDiCT Event – #Health #conditions beyond #Pregnancy. 🤰Women who experience any pregnancy #complications (apart from gestational diabetes & pre-eclampsia) should have follow-up health checks #after #birth to monitor for long-term health risks. 💟 Adding pregnancy-related complications to heart disease #prediction models for young women slightly improves accuracy. Better Prediction Models = Better Clinical Utility📈to guide #postpartum monitoring for future health. ✅ #Future #research could integrate #heart, #metabolic, and #kidney health together when predicting long-term risks (as early healthcare steps are often the same for these conditions). @Nirantharakumar @meghasingh_16 @StevenWambua @JohtChandan @IngLee17 @shanley29 @nelson_piercy @zoe_vowles @amaya_azcoaga @BeckTaylorPH @hfhope @anuradhaa_s @cwcyau #MaternalHealth #CardiometabolicHealth #Multimorbidity #PregnancyResearch #HeartHealth #LongTermHealth #ChronicIllness #ChronicDisease #PPI #PPIE #CEI #Engagement #WomensHealth

#MuMPreDiCT Event - #Medication in #Pregnancy ▶️"When we have long-term health conditions, very often we are taking #medication, and that medication is crucial to our #health." ▶️"The reality is, when we ask our doctors, midwives, and health professionals [about medication safety during pregnancy], often they don’t know." & "That’s why this #research is so important." 🔗mumpredict.org @Nirantharakumar @IngLee17 @shanley29 @nelson_piercy @zoe_vowles @amaya_azcoaga @BeckTaylorPH @StevenWambua @hfhope @anuradhaa_s @cwcyau @CharlieGadd #MuMPreDiCT #ResearchMatters #Evidence #BRIDGE4WomensHealth #BRIDGEreport #Local #National #Global #Impact #MaternalHealth #MedicationSafety #Multimorbidity #ChronicIllness #ChronicDisease #PPI #PPIE #CEI #Engagement #WomensHealth #LivedExperience

📢#MuMPreDiCT Event –💡#Patient & #Public #Involvement (#PPI) was not an afterthought - it was on the agenda from day one, shaping every aspect of the #Research for #pregnant women with 2 long-term health conditions including... 3⃣ Three-tiered approach ✅ 2 experienced service users as Co-Investigators ✅ 10-15 service users forming an Advisory Group ✅ #Engagement work - Deep Dives with underrepresented groups (LGBTQ , refugee/asylum seekers, mental health peer supporters, HIV mothers) 🤲PPI members embedded in research meetings & decision-making shaped study through lifecycle (eg design via #MentalHealth inclusion, partner interviews; #core #outcome sets, #qualitative #analysis; strengthened #dissemination including it reaches parents & families) @Nirantharakumar @JohtChandan @IngLee17 @shanley29 @nelson_piercy @zoe_vowles @amaya_azcoaga @BeckTaylorPH @StevenWambua @hfhope @LLocock @anuradhaa_s @cwcyau @CharlieGadd #PPI #PPIE #CEI #Engagement #WomensHealth #LivedExperience #Research #MaternalHealth #Multimorbidity #Health #Pregnancy #PregnancyResearch #BeyondMuMPreDiCT #BRIDGE4WomensHealth #BRIDGEreport #Local #National #Global #Impact

📢#MuMPreDiCT Event – #Medication in #pregnancy ⚠️ 1 in 4 pregnancies involve prescriptions for 2 medications, yet research on their combined effects is still limited. #Polypharmacy ⚠️ Lack of evidence can lead to women stopping essential medication, increasing risks for both mother & baby. @JohtChandan @IngLee17 @shanley29 @nelson_piercy @zoe_vowles @amaya_azcoaga @BeckTaylorPH @StevenWambua @hfhope @anuradhaa_s @cwcyau #MaternalHealth #MedicationSafety #Multimorbidity #ChronicIllness #ChronicDisease #PPI #PPIE #CEI #Engagement #WomensHealth #LivedExperience #Research #PregnancyResearch #BRIDGE4WomensHealth #BRIDGEreport

AIMS update: this morning's sessions have been 100%. What a great space to focus on this important issue. Good to hear about centrality of parents, patients & public in such research/practice improvement work. #ImprovingMaternityServicesTogether #MuMPreDiCT

📢 LIVE from #MuMPreDiCT - @shanley29 & Natalie on the lived experience perspective of #pregnant women with 2 long-term health conditions and their partners & health professionals. ✅ Steph: “The research highlights how fragmented maternity care impacts women with multiple long-term conditions. We need better coordination, holistic support & continuity of care.” ✅ Natalie: “My drive for change comes from wanting to fill gaps in maternity services. Being part of #MuMPreDiCT has given me the opportunity to engage in local, national & international projects.” 🌍 @Nirantharakumar @JohtChandan @IngLee17 @shanley29 @nelson_piercy @zoe_vowles @amaya_azcoaga @BeckTaylorPH @StevenWambua @hfhope @LLocock @anuradhaa_s @cwcyau #MaternalHealth #Multimorbidity #PPI #PPIE #CEI #Engagement #WomensHealth #PregnancyResearch #LivedExperience #Research #BRIDGE4WomensHealth #BRIDGEreport #Health #Pregnancy

📢 LIVE from #MuMPreDiCT - @Nirantharakumar discusses the increasing prevalence of long-term health conditions in pregnancy due to rising maternal age, obesity, and other factors📊 ✅ 1 in 4 pregnant women have active long-term conditions (physical/mental). ✅ Mental health conditions are a major contributor. ✅ Women from deprived areas have a higher burden of multiple long-term conditions.

Kicking off 2025 by looking back at some of last year's highlights. It’s been a privilege to meet so many people in person in 🇨🇦🇨🇭the 🇺🇸 & across the 🇬🇧 in Southampton, Oxford, Birmingham, Liverpool, Southend & London! This is a glimpse from the past year, launching the #BRIDGE #Report, starting our #Health #Literacy #Research project, and advancing research in areas like #Preconception, #Heavy #Periods, #Chronic #Health #Conditions, and promoting #Child #Health. There are too many things to mention!! Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey. I’m excited for what’s to come in 2025! #BRIDGE4WomensHealth #BRIDGEreport #PregnancyHealthLiteracy #ChildHealth #ChronicDisease #Epilepsy #Pregnancy #MuMPreDiCT #EpiSafe #ABAfeed #RADIANTstudy #HeavyPeriods #PPI #Patient #Public #Involvement #Engagement #PPIE #Impact
