Title IX and Pregnancy
Title IX covers any gender-related issues, including pregnancy, birth, and postpartum needs, and the Title IX Office can help students understand what kinds of accommodations and supports are available to them.
Here are some examples of situations in which you might seek a Title IX accommodation for your pregnancy:
- Pregnancy symptoms are interfering with your schoolwork (e.g. morning sickness, fatigue, hyperemesis gravidarum)
- Planning your recovery from delivery (it is recommended you start the accommodation process in advance of your due date) or if you have a complicated delivery and need additional support
- You are suffering from a postpartum mood disorder, such as postpartum depression, anxiety, or panic
