[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I’m a black woman. Higher ed degree or not, professional job or not, doula or not, midwife or not. I got subpar treatment. Told, “you are overreacting, nothing is wrong” etc etc. Something was wrong, almost died, definitely don’t think it would have happened if I was a white woman.[/quote] There was a series of articles that came out in the last couple years highlighting this exact issue. Those stories haunted me. One of the moms I think had a PhD and worked for the CDC and her issues were dismissed and she ended up dying. Completely unacceptable and infuriating. It makes me afraid for my black friends to ever give birth.[/quote]
