Today we will discuss the “Why”. Why is this space needed. Why do we need this tribe? Aren’t all Mommas built the same? Shouldn’t we just all figure it out as we go? Isn’t this life easy? Doesn’t everyone just breeze through pregnancy and childbirth. Super easy right?!?! Wrong. So I won’t get to far into the numbers because we have forever together right? So I can dive into those another day.
So if you’ve been living under a rock, you might not know that the Maternal Morbidity and Mortality rate in the United States is embarrassingly high. In a land where we have cars that run by electricity and Instapots that can cook frozen food in 15 minutes, we have thousands of women die during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Some of these deaths and injuries were preventable. The prevention is in the education. The prevention is recognizing bias. The prevention is in better access. The prevention is in having a strong advocate. The prevention is also in…dare I say it, calling out racism. All of these things combined will help to significantly decrease the mortality rates.
My why is simple, it’s because I want to save lives. I want to help keep you safe. I want us to all be safe.
