April 11-17 is #BlackMaternalHealthWeek .BMHW is to increase the convo about blk maternal health.I was afraid when I had my kids cuz I was aware of the stats surrounding the number of blk women who die during childbirth.We should be able to bring a child in this world without fear

We all had an eventful week celebrating #BMHW so let's start off this week with the same momentum with a birthworker affirmation:

I have abundant faith in my ability to support and strengthen a birthing person's or couple's birthing experience.

One of the commonly missed opportunities of #prenatal providers is low dose aspirin for prevention of #preeclampsia

With lifetime implications, we must hone counseling skills so more patients, esp toxic stress carriers, will consider #LDA

Black women are no strangers to traumatic experiences or being forced to be “strong” and “resilient” in the face of said trauma, and that's especially true for maternal health. As we close out #BMHW , remember that Black women inherit joy too. npwf.info/3Ms9IcI

To conclude #BMHW , discover how @Waldenu's Dr. Jamil Norman is addressing the alarming maternal mortality rates among Black women in this piece with GoToHealth Media, LLC!

Did you know that Black women are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women? It's time to address this crisis and advocate for change. #BMHW #MaternalHealthEquity
