Somebody that heard this Mama

A Chicago-area pregnant woman is recovering after doctors successfully removed a massive 27-pound uterine fibroid while preserving her pregnancy in a rare, high-risk surgery.

Brionna Johnson was warned by several physicians that she might need to terminate her pregnancy and have a hysterectomy due to a massive growth. Instead, Dr. Pierre Johnson at Loretto Hospital, on Chicago's West Side, performed a rare surgery to remove a 27-pound fibroid, allowing her pregnancy to continue. 🎥:

Rest in Peace
Dr. Janell Green Smith 🕊️

Dr. Janell Green Smith was a Black Midwife who dedicated her life to improving Black Maternal Health Outcomes. Dr. Janell spoke out about what brought her to midwifery, how maternal mortality rates in this country were mostly preventable, & how Black women should not have to fear death in birth.

The news that Dr. Janell Green Smith has tragically died during childbirth is absolutely heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹

We grieves her death as a systemic failure and injustice. Our hearts go out to her family, friends, & the midwifery community.

Say her name loud. Dr. Janell Green Smith should be here. Black women deserve to give birth without fear, with dignity & safety, she deserves to be here today.

WHY BABIES CRY RIGHT AFTER BIRTH AND WHY THAT’S A GOOD THING

Mama, that first cry you hear after birth is not just a sound. It is a powerful sign that your baby is healthy and adjusting well to life outside the womb.

Inside your womb, your baby’s lungs are filled with fluid. Once the baby is born, that first cry helps push the fluid out and allows air to fill the lungs for the first time. This is how your baby starts breathing on their own.

That cry also helps your baby’s heart and oxygen levels adjust to life outside. It means your baby’s body is working exactly as it should.

So, even though it may sound loud or sharp, that first cry is something to be thankful for. It is the sound of new life and a healthy beginning.
