We’re launching a 10-day countdown to a healthier Texas! Follow along daily as we spotlight our 10 Strategic Goals to improve maternal health—one post at a time. Let's do this!

Texas is facing a congenital syphilis crisis, but early detection through a simple blood test can prevent it. Read our latest blog, written by @childtrends.bsky.social, to learn why this disease is spreading, what symptoms to watch for, & how moms can protect themselves & their babies. Link in bio.

Today, we pause to honor the U.S. military personnel who gave their lives in service to our country. At Save Texas Moms, we also remember the mothers who have served, those who have lost loved ones, and the military families who continue to carry that burden. This Memorial Day, we honor them all.

In Texas, where summers are getting hotter, expecting moms & their babies face serious health risks. What to do: • Stay cool with fans or A/C • Hydrate with water • Avoid outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day • Rest often • Check local alerts for heat advisories & air quality

A lifesaving test. A national partnership. An urgent message on a preventable crisis. In 2022 alone, 922 Texas babies were born with syphilis—many with devastating complications. A simple test can save both your life and your baby's. Read the full blog @ www.savetexasmoms.org/save-texas-m....

When healthcare & nutrition programs are cut, TX moms pay the price. • Nearly half of all TX births are covered by Medicaid. • SNAP supports nutritional health for expecting & new moms. Cutting these programs means cutting maternal health. It’s time to protect TX families. #txlege #savetexasmoms

It's National Women's Health Week! "Prioritizing Women's Health: Caring for Mind and Body" empowers women to take charge of their physical, emotional, & mental health.

@npr.org has reported on maternal mortality and morbidity in Texas multiple times over the past decade, highlighting the state’s high mortality rates and challenges faced by women, particularly women of color, in accessing maternal healthcare. Support NPR and #savetexasmoms.

Today, we celebrate strength, heritage & resilience. Latina mothers across Texas carry generations of wisdom, courage & love. We honor their stories, elevate their voices & fight for maternal health equity—because every mamá deserves care, respect & support. ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! #SaveTexasMoms

We must invest in maternal mental health—because when we support moms, we support all of Texas. #SaveTexasMoms #MaternalMentalHealth #TexasDeservesBetter #PostpartumSupport

As Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week (May 5–11) approaches, Save Texas Moms stands in solidarity with all mothers. This year’s theme, “Your Voice, Your Strength,” underscores the importance of empowering women to speak openly about their mental health experiences during & after pregnancy. #share

We must support our young Texas mothers. Our state has the highest rate of repeat teen births in the U.S. Let’s legislate, educate, and advocate! #savetexasmoms #maternalhealth

The more medical students we can encourage to remain in Texas for their residencies, the better off Texas families will be! Please help spread the word about this grant opportunity.

Maternal mental health matters—especially in Texas. Half of all Texas counties lack access to maternal mental health care. At Save Texas Moms, we’re: •Raising awareness about maternal mental health •Highlighting the risks •Providing education, advocacy, and resources Find help at savetexasmoms.org

Happy Easter! Today, we celebrate renewal, hope, and the power of community. We’re reminded of every mother planting seeds of strength, love, and resilience—even in the most underserved corners of Texas. Let’s keep building a Texas where every mom feels seen, supported, and safe. #savetexasmoms

Texas has one of the highest congenital syphilis rates in the U.S. Many cases are preventable with early testing and treatment. What can we do? Let’s advocate for prenatal syphilis screening and end the stigma around STIs. Healthy moms = Healthy babies. #stiawareness #savetexasmoms

Black mothers are not just a statistic—they are leaders, healers, and change agents. As Black Maternal Health Week nears its end, we want to continue uplifting their stories and fighting for a system that honors their births and their lives. #bmhw25 #SaveTexasMoms

#BMHW25: We’re listening, learning, and advocating for Black mothers. Please visit www.savetexasmoms.org to find maternal health resources. #SaveTexasMoms

Measles are contagious. Measles cause 1 in 4 people to be hospitalized. Measles can be deadly especially in children. Measles can cause blindness & deafness. Measles can cause brain damage yrs later. Measles can cause "immune amnesia". Measles are preventable with MMR vaccine. #medsky #IDsky 🛟 😷🧪

Half of TX counties have no hospital offering obstetric care. Moms are being forced to drive hours for prenatal checkups—or go without care entirely. We're here to ensure every mom gets the support she needs, regardless of ZIP code. Share this and tag someone who needs to know! Map: March of Dimes

Half of Texas is a Maternity Care Desert. That means no hospitals offering obstetric care, OB-GYNs, or Certified Nurse-Midwives. For thousands of moms, this is the reality. We can't accept this. It's time to change the story. Join us! #SaveTexasMoms #maternalhealth

Let's support our working mothers! You can encourage your place of employment to become a designated Texas Mother-Friendly Worksite. #savetexasmoms

Medicaid and Medicare cuts stand to further worsen access to maternity care. Already, 1/3 of US counties are maternity care deserts. No access to birthing hospitals or OB providers. A major concern given the already high rate of maternal mortality & poor outcomes. #CLC2025 @acog-org.bsky.social
