End Maternal Mortality
84% of pregnancy-related deaths are PREVENTABLE
In the USA, the risk of dying while giving birth or shortly after nearly doubled between 2018 and 2021. The USA spends more money on healthcare than most developed countries, but our mothers are dying at rates nearly 10x greater.
BIPOC mothers face a significantly higher risk of experiencing life-threatening complications during delivery compared to white mothers, with Black women alone nearly three times more likely. Moreover, they face an alarming eight-fold higher risk of death due to pregnancy-related complications. Racial disparities also exist in breastfeeding rates and the frequency of emergency Cesarean sections. Additionally, a greater number of Black infants are born prematurely or with low birth weights, both of which contribute significantly to infant mortality rates.
Fortunately, a mounting body of research highlights doula care as a highly beneficial and cost-effective intervention for improving the health outcomes of both infants and mothers.
