Did you know that a small placenta is a risk factor for stillbirth? Standard prenatal ultrasounds typically measure the baby, internal organs and placenta locations – but not placenta size.

We support measurement of the placenta using Estimated Placental Volume (EPV), a standard practice of prenatal care. We aim to help families seeking answers, to supply the medical community with an archive of published research linking small placentas to poor outcomes, to inform doctors, nurses, doulas and ultrasound technicians of the availability of EPV to potentially save lives, and to drive attention and awareness to close the gap in care.

To learn how proactively measuring your baby’s placenta can be an empowering step in your pregnancy journey, please visit Measure The Placenta.

Postpartum Support Charleston is dedicated to eradicating the stigma surrounding maternal mental illnesses (such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and psychosis during and after pregnancy) to ensure all women who suffer receive support.

If you or someone you know is suffering from postpartum depression, we can help. You don’t need to suffer in silence. Support, treatment and healing are available.

If you have thoughts of hurting yourself or your child seek medical attention immediately or call 911.

Approximately 1 in 4 pregnant women carry GBS, the leading cause of sepsis and meningitis in newborns. ACOG Committee Opinion updates and replaces the obstetrical components of the CDC 2010 guidelines. GBS can also infect babies during pregnancy and the first few months of life. Not all babies exposed to GBS become infected, but, for those who do, the results can be devastating. GBS can cause babies to be miscarried, stillborn, born prematurely, become very sick, have lifelong handicaps, or die. Even babies born to moms who test negative can become infected by group B strep.

Fortunately there are many ways to help protect babies from group B strep. Our website contains resources for you to learn more about GBS and help prevent its devastating effects.
