(1177) Parenting through Postpartum Depression | Camille Mehta | TEDxStanleyPark - YouTube

(1177) How we can improve maternal healthcare -- before, during and after pregnancy | Elizabeth Howell - YouTube

1.) For you first post given the Tedtalks above and the opinion piece on societies misogyny towards mothers, how do you think mothers are viewed culturally here in the United States? Next, discuss what is your reaction to learning of the vast disparities in maternal care based on race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Finally, discuss how would you change how motherhood is viewed here in the United states and ideas you have to make maternal care in the United States more equitable.

2.) For your second post, after watching the Tedtalk on what babies learn before they are born, react to how this either confirms or shifts your view of when we actually start learning. Second, given what we have learned about risk factors and protective factors during pregnancy, what do you think might be some ways to help start a babies development off on the right trajectory before they are even born?
