This week's episode with Dr Anana and special guest Paula Reed raise awareness on Black Mental Health Week
This Black Maternal Health Week. Did you know black women are 3-4 more times likely to die during childbirth or pregnancy related causes?
The pandemic is making this even worse.
Most of these deaths are considered preventable, and therefore, much more can be done to stop them. First, everyone—from doctors to the media to the public—needs to stop blaming women for their own deaths. Instead we should focus on better understanding the underlying contributing factors. These include a lack of data; not educating patients about signs and symptoms—and not believing them when they speak up; errors made by health care providers; and poor communication among different health care teams. Finally, studies have shown that interventions such as wider access to midwifery, group prenatal care, and social and doula support are effective in improving maternal health outcomes.
It is important we make room for black mothers maternal mental health. We are more likely to experience some form of postpartum depression than our white counterparts.
Our guest encouraged us go after the vision God gave you and the importance of collaboration rather than competition. We all are created to create Believe that YES YOU CAN!!
