Four years ago, The Study of Queer & Trans PREG was launched. We learned so much from the stories of devastating heartbreak, but also the pure joy and magic of bringing a child into this world as an LGBTQ+ parent, including the journey to form a family. So we created part II.

Thanks @PinkNews for amplifying our study showing LGBTQ+ women experience disparities in perinatal mental health and may experience disparities in accessing perinatal mental health treatment #LGBTQHealth #HealthDisparities #AcademicTwitter

Ongoing research into #LGBTQHealth is crucial, as noted in this piece by @HarvardChanSPH on a study led by @DeptPopMed researchers: one of the 1st to document perinatal mental health outcomes across sexual orientation groups in a national sample. buff.ly/3x5j0GN

We on fire folx... go check out this important paper from our team showing sexual minority childbearing people may be at higher risk of gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and low birth weight #AcademicTwitter #EpiTwitter #HealthDisparities #LGBTQHealth

Another study that recently came out from our team! TLDR: states with hostile abortion climates led to higher risks of unintended pregnancies, which increased risks of pregnancy depression & stress #AcademicTwitter #EpiTwitter #MentalHealthMatters doi.org/10.1016/j.anne…
