A Mother's Choice - Birth Options and Beyond

A Mother's Choice -  Birth Options and Beyond A Mother's Choice believes through community, we can create and improve maternal access with prenatal & postpartum education and improve birth outcomes.

Now that we have addressed the CDC currently identifies the top five causes of black infant mortality as:
​ #1 - Low birth weight (education and preventable)
#2 - Congenital malformations (screenings and education)
#3 - Sudden infant death syndrome (education and lactation support)
#4 - Accidental death/injuries (education and prevention)
#5 - Maternal complication (education and prevention)

It is IMPORTANT to note, the number of causes that CAN be addressed through education and prevention. PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY has a responsibility to its constituents;
1. Campaigns how to improve Black Infant Mortality
2. Work with "community" based providers to ensure closed loop care
3. Support initiates that emphasis race-based poor outcomes
4. Advocate evidence that supports community AND culturally congruent care
5. Listen to communities, believe them, and reallocate funding appropriately

When we talk about Black Maternal Health, we are also talking about Black Infant Health. Are you ready to be a part of this change?

Research has demonstrated systemic stressors during pregnancy have a profound impact on Black families and their birth outcomes. For decades, the Department of Health & Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and National Health Services have all demonstrated through evidence Black families must receive care that is culturally congruent accessible care with community perinatal providers and educators. Failing to address racism as the foundation of continued outcomes results in the continued gap between black infant mortality and their counterparts.
