This GIF was found on Padlet using the search bar. It displays a woman bouncing on a yoga ball during pregnancy or labor. Bouncing on a yoga ball is not proven to induce labor, but it can help labor progress, shortening the length of labor (Shen et al., 2021). This information can help pregnant women and healthcare workers provide interventions to help women in labor. Not all women may have equal access to a yoga ball as an intervention for labor. Many hospitals now use these on their obgyn units.

This image was found using Google Image Search. It shows a pregnant woman and an ultrasound image. The target audience for this image would be pregnant women. Having an ultrasound during pregnancy is part of routine pregnancy care. This helps check for the number of fetuses, abnormalities, and the health of the mother and baby. According to the Cleveland Clinic your pregnancy care provider uses an ultrasound to tell them important information about your pregnancy. This improves public health by ensuring the development of the baby and health of the mother. The access to ultrasound may not be equal as some women may not have insurance or the ability to receive prenatal care.
