While I was at a birth the other day, my 6-yr old While I was at a birth the other day, my 6-yr old daughter drew this. A mama in her bed “doing a homebirth.” I love that not only do I get to serve birthing folks in the way that I do, but that I am raising my daughter to know that BIRTH IS NORMAL, and it doesn’t have to happen in a hospital. 🧡 #homebirth #normalizebirth #studentmidwife #littlestmidwife

Repost from @the.maternity.advocate • “The Lis Repost from @the.maternity.advocate • “The Listening to Mothers Survey III found that one in five black and Hispanic women reported poor treatment from hospital staff because of race, ethnicity, cultural background or language, compared with 8 percent of white mothers.” (Villarosa, 2018). Black women across the spectrum of income, education and class are not listened to within the formal healthcare setting and are more likely to receive abuse and die or experience near-misses. All birthworkers must act together to end this abhorrent treatment. • “ I felt brushed off and did not know what to do.” • “I felt dismissed throughout my postnatal care.” • “It’s silence that contributes to the demise of black women and our babies.” • “Both times it was a struggle to get doctors to even pay attention to my symptoms.” • “You would have thought I was a mute from Mars.” • 📸:@designedbydg • • #blackmamasmatter #blackreproductivejustice #blackreproductivehealth #blackmothersmatter #birthjustice #birthkeeper #blackmaternalhealthweek #blackmaternalhealthmatters #advancingblackbirth #blackbirthrights
“Disparities in maternal and infant mortality ar “Disparities in maternal and infant mortality are rooted in racism. Structural racism in health care and social service delivery means that African American women often receive poorer quality care than white women. It means the denial of care when African American women seek help when enduring pain or that health care and social service providers fail to treat them with dignity and respect. These stressors and the cumulative experience of racism and sexism, especially during sensitive developmental periods, trigger a chain of biological processes, known as weathering, that undermine African American women’s physical and mental health. The long-term psychological toll of racism puts African American women at higher risk for a range of medical conditions that threaten their lives and their infants’ lives, including preeclampsia (pregnancy-related high blood pressure), eclampsia (a complication of preeclampsia characterized by seizures), embolisms (blood vessel obstructions), and mental health conditions.” Text from Eliminating Racial Disparities in Maternal and Infant Mortality A Comprehensive Policy Blueprint by Jamila Taylor, Cristina Novoa, Katie Hamm, and Shilpa Phadke May 2, 2019, Center for American Progress. #blackmamasmatter #blacklivesmatter #blackmaternalhealth
