Where you live shouldn't impact your ability to have a healthy pregnancy and birth. However, data from March of Dimes shows that more women are struggling to access care before, during and after pregnancy, which can be attributed to a 4 percent decrease in birthing hospitals in one year, This #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay, we ask that you help us shine a light on the #maternalhealth disparities in the US, to help bring forward effective and lasting solutions in order to eliminate disparities and increase access to care for these women.

Racism, and not Race affects women of color. We must go beyond talking about it, and take action. Action can be individual, as an organization, community/ society. 1. Patients should self-advocate. Write down your concerns. Speak up! Take a friend, family, colleague, or partner with you for clinical evaluation. 2. Learn the warning signs of #maternalmortality from #CDC or reputable societies like #ACOG 3. Community ownership is a big one. Communities must continue to speak up and educate the populace. Use events like baby showers, and sorority events to discuss important issues. Knowledge is Power! 4. Organizations and hospital systems are not left out :) 😄 Normalize discussions about respectful care, cultural competency, etc. The Cleveland Clinic Center for Infant and Maternal Health was created to address the above. We support at-risk birthing people and women during pregnancy and the first year of infant life. We acknowledge the role of structural racism in maternal and infant mortality and in addition to evidence-based excellent care, support our patients with: - Obstetric navigators - Community health workers - Perinatal Doulas. #blackhealth #blackmama #maternalmortality #maternalmentalhealth #maternalchildhealth #infanthealth

Pregnancy can be a challenging time for many women, both physically and mentally.

It is almost Mother's Day so let's talk about moms. In the U.S., there’s a striking gap in the time and resources allocated towards pregnancy versus the postpartum period. While a woman might visit her OBGYN 10-15 times during pregnancy, she’ll typically only visit once during the postpartum period. And while it’s commonplace for an expectant mother to take a birth education class, it is virtually unheard of for her to receive postpartum education. 88% of women feel unprepared to navigate the postpartum period. In New Zealand, after giving birth, moms can stay at a local birthing center, free of charge, where they will receive one-on-one care for them and their babies. In South Korea, eight out of 10 new mothers will stay at care centers, or a Joriwon, after giving birth. If you are pregnant, what can you do for YOU in your postpartum period? Can you ask for additional support in cleaning from family and friends? Can you setup meal delivery? #mentalhealth #therapy #wellness #postpartumcare #momsmatter
