“…Regarding clinical practice, the authors featured in this review make a number of recommendations, including the following: - nurses facilitating an environment where the identity disclosure of lesbian families is encouraged (Chapman, Wardrop, Freeman, et al, ; Sharek et al, )
- structural changes that would facilitate co‐mothers' feelings of inclusion in maternity services (Cherguit et al, )
- nursing homes developing protocols for respectful verbal communication that demonstrates sensitivity to LGB patients and their families (Kushner et al, ; Sharek et al, )
- special parenthood groups for lesbians so that couples can meet with the focus on parenthood rather than sexual orientation (Röndahl et al, )
- having LGBT continuous‐care settings for older lesbians (Gabrielson, )
- clinicians and administrators ensuring that policies and legislations regarding lesbians in maternal health and that health professionals are sensitive to the context, functions, and constructs of all the families they serve (Brennan & Sell, ; Chapman, Wardrop, Freeman, et al, ; Cherguit et al, ).
