  • Four new studies on pregnancy were discussed, which examine group prenatal care, COVID vaccines and pregnancy, and preterm birth.
  • Group prenatal care did not lower the rate of preterm birth overall or within Black participants.
  • COVID vaccination during the second trimester of pregnancy provides antibody protection through six months.
  • High-grade chronic inflammation of the placenta increases the risk of recurrent preterm birth by 37%, and a short cervical length within the first 24 hours after birth predicted a recurrence of preterm birth.

  • Jess Grose’s book “Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood” was made possible because of her parents, who were able to provide secondary parenting for her two elementary-age daughters.
  • The book is rooted in sociology and ungaslights, underlining that the problem with parenting is not the individual’s, but how we have organized society.
  • Jess examines why we expect to feel good during pregnancy and the history of how these ideas developed.
  • The subtitle of the book “unsustainable” is based on the idea that individual choices are not enough to fix the issue and that we need support systems from the government, work, and families to sustain parenting.
  • Jess’s advice is to take baby steps and find one thing today that you don’t have to do that you could simply not do.
  • In order to get people on board for changes that don’t directly affect them, people need to talk about their own experiences in their own communities.
  • Finally, Jess hopes that the primary takeaway from the book is to leave space for each others’ real feelings, which is an important part of change.

  • Breast milk is generally very stable, with low concentrations of bacteria at typical storage temperatures.
  • The CDC recommends not mixing multiple temperatures of breast milk and not reusing a partially used bottle.
  • Studies suggest that these rules are overly cautious and breast milk can be stored safely for longer than recommended.
  • Refreezing breast milk after it has thawed is generally safe, and mixing of temperatures is likely safe as well.
  • Reusing a partially used bottle of breast milk is also likely safe, but more research is needed.

  • If your breakfast is not highly acidic, brushing after is fine.
  • If your breakfast is highly acidic, brushing before may be better, and flossing or rinsing can also help remove food debris.

  • Final thoughts: setting the right expectations is great, but it can be hard to be gentle with ourselves when other people are criticizing our children

• Consciousness is characterized by the capacity to suffer and is the source of political authority in modern societies
• The capacity to suffer is the determining factor of an entity‘s ethical and political standing
• Questions of consciousness have an impact on ethical and political debates, from race and gender to ecology and taxation
• Victimless crimes are now judged based on the potential to cause suffering to sentient beings, as opposed to being judged by divine commandment
• Theories of consciousness should be able to help us measure and scale suffering in order to be considered legitimate
• Debate is still raging about animal welfare and whether animals have the same kind of consciousness as humans
• Scholars must be careful when making claims about the ability to measure and scale consciousness as it could have explosive ethical and political implications
• If a strong Theory Of Consciousness is developed, it could lead to hierarchy of Consciousness between humans and other animals
• As artificial intelligence progresses, it is important to remember the difference between intelligence and consciousness and not privilege intelligent computers over conscious humans.

  • Data for population characteristics like obesity rate is usually collected from surveys, such as the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
  • NHANES is designed as a representative sample, but non-response can create imbalances in the data that need to be addressed with reweighting.
  • Re-weighting adjusts for differences between the sample and the overall population by giving more weight to characteristics that are underrepresented in the sample.
  • Non-response can lead to selection bias, which can make it difficult to draw precise conclusions from survey data.
