Report: Wartime stress leads to increased premature births in Ukrainian obstetrics: Mothers beg for forgiveness
RUSH A GIFT [[link removed]]

More than two years since war began in Ukraine, pregnant women and new mothers are still suffering.

Premature births are on the rise in Ukraine as war rages on, and doctors are pointing to the psychological stress of wartime.

At one clinic in the north, the rate of premature births has doubled since the invasion.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me," A mother who gave birth eight days ago said to her small child.

Since the war broke out, UNFPA has supported maternity hospitals in Ukraine to meet the needs of pregnant women, expand access to free and quality reproductive health services, and provide hospitals with essential supplies.

Already, UNFPA operates 1 mobile maternity unit, 23 mobile health units, and 37 service delivery points in Ukraine to ensure safe births. But as the war continues, we have to keep scaling up our efforts to meet the needs of pregnant women and new mothers.

Will you make a gift today to deliver lifesaving sexual and reproductive health care to women and girls living through war in Ukraine and around the world? [[link removed]]
