Maternal and Infant Mortality Healthcare Crisis

The United States is facing a maternal and infant health crisis fueled by structural racism that drives significant racial disparities in maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Particularly affected are Black and Indigenous birthing people. Black women and American Indian/Alaska Native women are three to four times more likely than non-Hispanic white women to die from pregnancy-related causes during pregnancy, birth, and up to one year postpartum.

BIPOC women are in the midst of a public health crisis and community doulas are literally on the front lines when it comes to the necessity of reducing infant mortality rates and medical abuse in Black communities across the country.

Why do you need a Birth Healer (Doula)? Doulas make a huge difference in American birth outcomes. Research shows that people who work with a doula throughout the prenatal period and childbirth are less likely to have a preterm delivery or a low birthweight baby, less likely to experience postpartum depression, and more likely to initiate and continue breastfeeding for a longer period.

I encourage you to HIRE A DOULA, especially in the hospital complex, it could SAVE your LIFE.

Become a Birth Healer TODAY because YOU ARE NEEDED!! We have work to do!
