Safe Motherhood Day

Safe Motherhood Day falls on April 11th each year, and it always sparks a conversation on the topic of maternal health and well-being. Interestingly enough, the origin of this day can be traced back to the 1980s in India, where it also coincides with Kasturba Gandhi’s birthday, who is Mahatma Gandhi’s wife, mostly known for being a strong advocate for women’s rights. Globally, this day serves as a call to action for safeguarding the physical and mental health of mothers.

Yet, although it doesn’t seem like it at first, this day is far more than just a tribute to mothers: it helps people get a better picture of the intrinsic connection between maternal health and broader societal progress. But if we want this to become even clearer, all of us need to join efforts in raising awareness and empowering communities to advocate for a positive change. That said, there’s one specific goal that we, at Reproclinic, hold near and dear to our hearts: we all dream of a world where every woman has all of the resources needed to embark on the journey of motherhood with confidence and security.

The reality, however, is that women nowadays encounter many different challenges along the way, ranging from infertility problems to pregnancy complications, to risks associated with childbirth and access to quality healthcare. We could say that society is moving in the right direction, slowly but surely, since we’re seeing how more and more women nowadays are able to receive extended prenatal and postpartum support. This, combined with regular check-ups and essential information made readily available, definitely speaks volumes of how today, more than ever, women not only have more options, but they are also able to make informed decisions for what concerns their family.

Without a doubt, maternal well-being should be a priority at every stage of the journey to motherhood. But this day also serves as a reminder that maternal health is also important in the broader context of family planning and fertility. For women struggling with infertility, this day draws attention to the significance of seeking appropriate medical support and guidance when navigating this season of their lives. Things like regular prenatal check-ups, maintaining a healthy diet, or staying physically active, can seem simple at first, but they all enhance the chances of a successful pregnancy, in their own way.

We believe that mothers’ contribution to the fabric of society is undeniable, and today, as well as every other day, we stand up in solidarity with all the sacrifices women make on their way to become mothers. But let us end with an uplifting message, dedicated to all women who are currently trying to overcome infertility: One day, your baby – the one that today may seem so far away from existence – will be old enough to hear their story. They’ll hear that they were so wished for and so wanted. They’ll hear that you’ve gone to bed each night thinking about them and what your future with them would be like. Now, imagine them looking up to you and saying: “Thank you for never giving up on me.”
