In NC, our maternal health numbers are worsening every year.

The death rate in North Carolina for women within 42 days of giving birth doubled from 2019 to 2021, according to CDC data released by the investigative news organization MuckRock.
The death rate in 2019 was 22 per 100,000 births. The next year, the rate per 100,000 births increased to 29, then spiked to 44 in 2021.

A direct, proven correlation exists between lactation and disease prevention, childbirth education and advocacy, physical movement, and successful vaginal delivery. Maternal health outcomes have heavily affected your knowledge of Maternal and infant health. Women aware of their changing bodies and bodily mechanics during pregnancy, postpartum, childbirth, and lactation are more likely to address their needs and accurately identify concerns that require additional support or medical treatment.
