The March
of nearly 1.5 million births in California found that two-mother families had substantially higher rates of adverse pregnancy and birth complications, than mothers with partners who idetified as fathers.pregnant women had higher rates of life-threatening complications such as postpartum hemorrhage. They were surprised by the data and while they couldn't identify a root cause, they pointed key areas that could be contributing.
The differences that persisted after accounting for pre-pregnancy disease suggested that mothers with mother partners are receiving less adequate medical care during pregnancy, and also that caregivers need much more awareness of inequities faced during pregnancy and birth by sexual and gender minorities, and how these may intersect with other types of discrimination patients may also face, scientists said.
"There is a growing need to understand the reproductive health of sexual and gender minorities," said the study’s senior author, Juno Obedin-Maliver, MD, MAS, MPH, an assistant professor at Stanford. "More young adults identify as being in these groups than in the past, and they are now more likely to build families by giving birth."
