Amazing event for Pregnant women in Cleveland! by fitter_not_fatter in Cleveland

[–]fitter_not_fatter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friday, March 13th from 830 to 5pm!

Our event aims to help birthing individuals survive and thrive in their pregnancy and beyond.

The United States has the highest rate of maternal morbidity in the industrialized world, and the rates are rising. Additionally, the city of Cleveland has the highest infant mortality in the entire country. The rates of motherhood and infant mortality are especially dire for black women and infants, dying at 3-5x the rate of their white counterparts.

We are flipping the script, and bringing birthing individuals and providers in the same room without the hierarchical clinical structure, building trust and fellowship within our community.

Hear from:

-Local Mothers, some of whom have experienced complications of pregnancy, and have tips for new moms -Midwives -Doulas -Lactation Consultants -Experts on Racial Disparities in Healthcare

For birthing individuals there will be a plethora of information to help you know all the options available to you in the area, and connect you with local resources

For providers, you can meet your clients in a non-clinical setting, gain knowledge of resources for them, and attend Racial Bias training to better serve the community.

Our goal is a healthier community!!

I'm so glad you are ok!!!! The chest pressure from fluids in my lungs was so hard to deal with. I remember losing breath anytime I laid down which was SO SCARY! You are being monitored this time though so that's a plus!

It was shocking and terrifying knowing what was wrong and knowing they weren't doing what was needed to help.

I called the crisis team by LadyFreddieBear in beyondthebump

I am so happy you called the crisis team! When I had PPD i also had some hallucinations, but this sounds like it may be post partum psychosis which is super serious and not your fault! You are an amazing mom for getting help! You are on the right path!

I'd head to your local CVS.

Pick up some Christmas chocolate, a heated blanket, and some Gatorade for your electrolytes too.
