REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

& PREGNANCY

 

Mobile women face the same issues as other women.  We experience regular menstrual cycles and many of us are sexually active.  We want to know about things like birth control, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, ovarian and cervical cancer.

 

However, a recent study showed that disabled women are less likely to receive reproductive health care and often are denied services because of their disability. The reasons include inaccessible medical facilities and equipment, inexperienced medical staff, and often, antiquated social attitudes.

We want you to be able to make informed decisions so you can be as healthy as possible!
