Save the date and make plans to join us for Sleep Across the Perinatal Journey: Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Beyond. Sleep often takes a backseat during pregnancy and the postpartum period—but its impact on maternal health is profound. This webinar explores the fascinating changes in sleep across the perinatal continuum and what they mean for clinical care. Designed for nurse-midwives, it will cover identifying and managing sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, understanding the powerful connection between sleep and mood, and recognizing how postpartum sleep disruption affects mental health. Attendees will walk away with practical, evidence-based strategies to assess and promote healthy sleep in perinatal care settings.
