Did you know that black women in the United States are three times more likely to die from pregnancy related courses than white women? That's a heartbreaking reality, and it's even more alarming when we consider the role of environmental injustice play in these outcomes. Decades of systematic racism have forced for many black families to live in neighborhoods with more pollution, poor quality housing, and limited access to clean water and healthy food. Black women are therefore exposed to higher level of environmental hazards, all of which increase their risk of pregnancy complications like preterm birth, a low birth weight, and even maternal death. We understand how heavy and personal this topic can feel, especially for those who have lived these experiences were. Know someone who has, and that's why we're so glad to chat with Dr. K, Pregnancy Specialist. Dr. K Pregnancy is a board certified practitioner and OB/GYN, as well as Maternal-Fetal Medicine. During this live we're going to discuss the long standing inequity in black maternal care, the role of environment plays in pregnancy outcomes for people of color, what to ask if you are recommended a C-section and if you think it's unnecessary, and so much more.
