Surviving Pregnancy as a Black Woman
Among developed nations, the United States is one of the most dangerous places to give birth, and Black women face the highest risk. Nurse Yalonda Fowler explores the bias, fear and miscommunication that underlie the sobering maternal mortality statistics. The Vitals team also investigates possible solutions, such as the expansion of midwifery care across the US.
