Safer pregnancies, healthier babies, and systems that truly protect and value Black mothers should be at the center of public health, but the reality is, the fight for equity is still far from over.

That’s why we’re proud to partner on After Birth, Aftercare, Afterthought: The 4th Trimester Live Video Podcast, a powerful, honest conversation about what happens after childbirth, when support is often missing but most needed.

🗓 Monday, May 4th at 6PM ET
📍 Brooklyn, NYC: BRIC Arts Media
🎤 Hosted by award-winning journalist Julee Wilson

Thank you, Governor Abigail Spanberger!!

Today, I signed the Momnibus — a package of bills to improve and expand healthcare coverage for mothers and families. No mother should have to fear dying during or after childbirth. The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income country, and we know Black women are at particularly high risk.

I am deeply grateful for the years of work by Senator L. Louise Lucas, Delegate Margaret Franklin, Destiny for VA, and Laura Jane Cohen to protect mothers and families, and I am proud to sign this legislation into law.

Every birth story deserves to be honored.

This April, we hold space for the many paths birth can take, including cesarean birth. Whether planned or unexpected, cesareans can be an important and life-saving part of care.

At Spinning Babies®, we support families with education and body awareness to encourage comfort, balance, and options in birth. And we also believe that feeling informed, respected, and supported matters—no matter how your baby arrives.

✨ You deserve compassionate care
✨ You deserve to understand your options
✨ You deserve to feel proud of your birth story

We stand alongside you in celebrating your strength, your choices, and your journey.

💜 However your baby is born, your experience matters.
