Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Middle-Class Women and Pregnancy Loss: A Qualitative Inquiry is the first qualitative research case study of its kind on Black Infant Mortality (BIM) to focus on a target group of black American-born middle-class professional married women who have all lived through the experience of infant loss. This target group allows Lisa Paisley-Cleveland to examine the BIM phenomenon outside the poverty paradigm and issues attached to teenage pregnancy, as well as to explore contributing factors attached to the persistent black and white disparity in infant mortality rates, which according to CDC’s January 2013 report are 12.40 and 5.35 respectively. This book raised the following question: given the disparity in the infant mortality rates among middle-class black and white women, are there factors attached to the pregnancy experience of middle-class black women that could help us understand the adverse birth outcomes for this target group?While investigating the answer to this question, Paisley-Cleveland provides readers entry into the pregnancy experiences of eight women from pregnancy planning to infant loss, and the book examines feelings, events, circumstances, interactions, behaviors, culture and history embedded in their pregnancy stories to explicate possible factors connected to adverse birth outcomes. It links the women’s personal stories to clinical, and psychosocial factors, placing their experiences at the center of the research, and demystifying assumptions. The study’s narratives and conclusions are built into a literary structure which helps to make a complex subject relatable and understandable to a wide audience. Black Middle-Class Women and Pregnancy Loss will be an invaluable resource for medical professionals; professionals in public health, mental health, and social work; sociologists; and anyone working or invested in women's health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior research on racial disparities in maternal health reveals a relationship between racism and pregnancy health outcomes, as measured by low birth weight and preterm birth. This study examines how instances of racism experienced over the life course shape miscarriage risk for black American women. Using data from the African American Women's Heart & Health Study (AAWHHS) and multivariate logistic regression, this study investigates the relationship between risk of pregnancy miscarriage and experiences of direct and vicarious racism at three life stages: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Findings reveal that direct racism during adulthood and vicarious racism during adolescence, that is, witnessing or hearing about incidents of racism or prejudice experienced by a close family member or friend, is associated with a marked increase in the likelihood of miscarriage. This study highlights the impact racism may have on miscarriage risk and underscores the critical need to consider the salient impact of direct and vicarious racism across the life course, with added attention to the negative consequences that "indirect" forms of racism may have on the pregnancy health of black American women.

Book excerpt: There is a global crisis in maternal health care for black women. In the United States, black women are over three times more likely to perish from pregnancy-related complications than white women; their babies are half as likely to survive the first year. Many black women experience policing, coercion, and disempowerment during pregnancy and childbirth and are disconnected from alternative birthing traditions. This book places black women's voices at the center of the debate on what should be done to fix the broken maternity system and foregrounds black women's agency in the emerging birth justice movement. Mixing scholarly, activist, and personal perspectives, the book shows readers how they too can change lives, one birth at a time.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how the experience of reproductive loss impacts African American women residing in West Virginia. For the purposes of this study the term reproductive loss (Wenzel, 2014) was expanded to include abortion experiences to capture the full spectrum of the reproductive narrative. The study implemented an explanatory case study design to explain the nuances impacting reproductive loss and give voice to experiences from African American women of West Virginia. Data collection methods consisted of observation, interviewing, document analysis, historical analysis, and analysis of material cultures to address the research questions. The current study, research questions, and subsequent analysis were predicated upon Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological model (2001). This dissertation highlights how a bioecological informed lens can be implemented to study and support women as they navigate various systems and cope with reproductive loss.

Book excerpt: A tender embrace, a guttural cry, a fragile surrender from Black women who have experienced pregnancy loss and infertility in 'Sorority of Bereaved Mothers.' This compelling collection features a range of heartfelt poems and stories, shedding light on the profound struggles of Black women in the face of both voluntary and involuntary pregnancy challenges. Black women face a significantly higher risk of miscarriage compared to their counterparts, reflecting a deep-seated healthcare disparity. In the United States, Black mothers tragically experience maternal mortality rates three to four times higher than white mothers, highlighting one of the most alarming racial health disparities. This anthology explores the unfiltered and authentic journeys of Black women as they navigate healthcare systems that fall short, confront intense emotional turmoil, and contemplate if a path to acceptance is possible or necessary. Explore the powerful narratives that echo the sentiment that, for Black women, the impact of healthcare professionals can be as pivotal as that of law enforcement for Black men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteen weeks into her second pregnancy, psychologist Jessica Zucker miscarried at home, alone. Suddenly, her career, spent specializing in reproductive and maternal mental health, was rendered corporeal, no longer just theoretical. She now had a changed perspective on her life’s work, her patients’ pain, and the crucial need for a zeitgeist shift. Navigating this nascent transition amid her own grief became a catalyst for Jessica to bring voice to this ubiquitous experience. She embarked on a mission to upend the strident trifecta of silence, shame, and stigma that surrounds reproductive loss—and the result is her striking memoir meets manifesto. Drawing from her psychological expertise and her work as the creator of the #IHadaMiscarriage campaign, I Had a Miscarriage is a heart-wrenching, thought-provoking, and validating book about navigating these liminal spaces and the vitality of truth telling—an urgent reminder of the power of speaking openly and unapologetically about the complexities of our lives. Jessica Zucker weaves her own experience and other women's stories into a compassionate and compelling exploration of grief as a necessary, nuanced personal and communal process. She inspires her readers to speak their truth and, in turn, to ignite transformative change within themselves and in our culture.

Book excerpt: Killing the Black Body remains a rallying cry for education, awareness, and action on extending reproductive justice to all women. It is as crucial as ever, even two decades after its original publication. "A must-read for all those who claim to care about racial and gender justice in America." —Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow In 1997, this groundbreaking book made a powerful entrance into the national conversation on race. In a media landscape dominated by racially biased images of welfare queens and crack babies, Killing the Black Body exposed America’s systemic abuse of Black women’s bodies. From slave masters’ economic stake in bonded women’s fertility to government programs that coerced thousands of poor Black women into being sterilized as late as the 1970s, these abuses pointed to the degradation of Black motherhood—and the exclusion of Black women’s reproductive needs in mainstream feminist and civil rights agendas. “Compelling. . . . Deftly shows how distorted and racist constructions of black motherhood have affected politics, law, and policy in the United States.” —Ms.

This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.
