Read more in ProPublica's story here: https://www.propublica.org/article/midwives-study-maternal-neonatal-care And catch their latest in maternal mortality reporting here: https://www.propublica.org/series/lost-mothers Despite spending more per capita on health care than any other country, the U.S. has the highest rate of deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth in the industrialized world. But what makes maternal healthcare in other affluent countries look so different than the U.S.? Among other things, midwives. Midwives in the U.S. participate in less than 10 percent of births. But in Sweden, Denmark and France, they lead around three quarters of deliveries. In Great Britain, they deliver half of all babies, including all three of Kate Middleton’s. So if the midwifery model works for royal babies, why not our own? Check out the video above to find out how midwives have been at the center of a culture war that’s deeply rooted in race and class in America.

In the United States, Black women are three times more likely to die of pregnancy-related causes than that of white women. With such staggering numbers that continue to rise, and hearing real-life stories of friends who barely made it post delivery, Nicky Dawkins and Averjill Rookwood began their training at Mama Glow to become full-spectrum doulas. A doula is a trained professional that is experienced in childbirth, and covers anything from fertility to postpartum. They are there to be a constant presence of support and an emotional anchor for their client, and always advocate on their behalf. It is with this training that they hope to ensure all women have the best birth possible with the least intervention. #IAMREAL To learn more about Mama Glow, please visit https://mamaglow.com.
