Fun Fact Friday: Breast tissue that develops, using the standard estrogen hormone, is radiograpically and histological indistinguishable from that of any cisgender woman. Transgender women are able to induce lactation in much the same way as non-gestational cisgender women.

Unwanted thoughts of infant-related harm are a normal but distressing experience for most, if not all, new mothers. The stigma of having these thoughts, and fears of acting on them, may stop new mothers from speaking with their healthcare providers for support. Dr. Nichole Fairbrother (Clinical Associate Professor, University of British Columbia, Department of Psychiatry) and her team at the UBC Perinatal Anxiety Research Lab are conducting a large-scale study to learn more a...bout these kinds of thoughts and their relationship with maternal mental health, parenting and infant safety with the goal of improving care and services for mothers, infants and families. Participants can also enter in a gift card draw for a 1 in 100 chance to win a $100 e-gift card.
