Hello, Maia.bomar, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Working together on this page[edit]

Hi Maia.bomar

I am a student at Northeastern University doing a Wikipedia course assignment. I was wondering what edits you were hoping to make on the Maternal Health page. I am interested in working on it as well, but I do not want to interfere with what you are doing. Please let me know so we can either work around each other or I can choose a different page! Thank you!

That's great! I am thinking of working on the sections "Poverty and access to healthcare" and "Maternal weight". What edits are you hoping to make? Just so I know that we won't be interfering with one another. Neurogal101 (talk) 20:55, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was also thinking about poverty and access to healthcare as well. I was also going to edit and add some main roadblocks that prevent a healthy pregnancy, such as lack of clean water, cultural practices, etc. What are your thoughts? I feel like we can both work on Poverty and Access to healthcare without interfering too much. --Maia.bomar

Sounds good. I was thinking to do specifically how socioeconomic status (related to poverty / food access / race or ethnicity) might affect gestational weight gain. Maybe you can edit under "poverty and access to healthcare" and I can create a new subsection called "socioeconomic status and maternal weight", which also combines the information under "maternal weight". What do you think of that? Neurogal101 (talk) 19:36, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
