“I have been a rural obstetric nurse for 26 years and am the chair for the AWHONN Rural Special Interest group along with Kayla Permentier. To improve the maternal desert crisis, it is vital that we (rural nurses) band together because I feel that through shared experiences and teamwork, we can improve access to quality health care for our patients. Through the Rural SIG, we have been able to give rural nurses a voice and bring focus to various successes and challenges within our field. Kayla and I are thrilled to be a part of this movement to improve rural obstetrics.” Learn more about this SIG. https://bit.ly/3VWGNm1?#PowerOfRural #NationalRuralHealthDay

What are the risks of drinking alcohol while pregnant? Alcohol use during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm birth, SIDS, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs).
