Evidence based care supports having a birth doula. 💜

Health care in the United States is increasingly team-based, and doulas—who often provide emotional, physical, and educational support for patients during birth, the postpartum period, and beyond—are valuable members of many care teams.

ACOG’s new clinical guidance encourages ob-gyn collaboration with doulas and gives ob-gyns the tools they need to better understand a doula’s role. It also highlights the importance of stronger partnerships between clinicians and doulas, which can provide vital support across the lifespan—including during and after pregnancy—and can lead to better patient outcomes.

PCOS is now being called PMOS, and I really want you to see this. 💛

PCOS has officially been renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). And this name change is just a little amazing.

Finally, this new name recognizes what so many of us already knew: this is a full-body hormonal and metabolic condition, and it has always deserved to be treated that way.

Here's what this means for breastfeeding mamas:

🍼Your milk supply - Low milk supply is more common in people with insulin resistance (which is common with this condition). The new name encourages doctors to address the whole metabolic picture instead of just "cysts." Better metabolic care means better support for your body's ability to make milk.

💛Your long-term health - Mamas with PMOS have a higher risk of Type 2 Diabetes. But, breastfeeding can help significantly reduce that risk (for both you and your baby).

🏥Your ongoing care - The old name kept too many women from seeking support once their family was "complete." PMOS changes this. Your hormonal and metabolic health matters through pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and well beyond.

If you ever have questions about PMOS and how it might be affecting your breastfeeding journey, I'm here. Drop a comment or send me a message. ❤️
