Black Birth and Maternal Mortality in the U.S.A. - Part II

http://www.my-natural-motherhood-journey.com Maternal mortality rates of African-American women are 3-4 times higher than any other group of American women. That number is staggering. Something must be done to change the way women are cared for during their pregnancy, childbirth and post-partum experiences.

I'll be talking with midwife and Executive Director of Commonsense Childbirth Inc. - The Birth Place, Jennie Joseph (LM, CPM), about how she has worked to diminish that disparity in her community by developing a midwifery system of care called The JJ Way.
