Why Maternal Care in the US Is So Broken

You’d think having a baby in the US would be safe, but our maternal mortality rates are shockingly high—worse than most other rich countries. The wild part? Over 80% of these deaths are preventable! The biggest issues: lack of access to care, mental health support, and insurance (especially after birth). Plus, Black women are hit hardest due to bias in the system. Real talk: fixing this means better access, more empathy, and actually listening to moms. It’s wild how much needs to change! #MaternalHealth #HealthcareAccess #SupportMoms #EndMaternalMortality #ListenToMoms
