[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll just leave this here. So many of you are so ignorantly brainwashed into thinking you need constant fetal monitoring or a waterfall of interventions. It's really sad and completely indicative of why the US has abysmal maternal fetal mortality rates and maternal and PP care in general. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2742137/ [/quote] Yes, please tell my baby's umbilical cord that it shouldn't have knotted up during labor, resulting in an emergency c section as the heart rate flatlined. Thanks to continuous fetal heart rate monitoring, it as caught immediately. Most deaths as caused by cardiovascular issues like pre eclampsia, and c section would have saved both mom and baby. Black women often aren't taken seriously and given needed interventions resulting in worse outcomes. They need more help not less. Wherever they have tried to reduce c section rates, still births and maternal deaths increased.[/quote]
