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.

Many black women experience policing, coercion, and disempowerment during pregnancy and childbirth and are disconnected from alternative birthing traditions.

Mixing scholarly, activist, and personal perspectives, the book shows readers how they too can change lives, one birth at a time.

Book Synopsis Reproductive Injustice by : Dana-Ain Davis
Download or read book Reproductive Injustice written by Dana-Ain Davis and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A troubling study of the role that medical racism plays in the lives of black women who have given birth to premature and low birth weight infants Black women have higher rates of premature birth than other women in America. This cannot be simply explained by economic factors, with poorer women lacking resources or access to care. Even professional, middle-class black women are at a much higher risk of premature birth than low-income white women in the United States. Dána-Ain Davis looks into this phenomenon, placing racial differences in birth outcomes into a historical context, revealing that ideas about reproduction and race today have been influenced by the legacy of ideas which developed during the era of slavery. While poor and low-income black women are often the “mascots” of premature birth outcomes, this book focuses on professional black women, who are just as likely to give birth prematurely. Drawing on an impressive array of interviews with nearly fifty mothers, fathers, neonatologists, nurses, midwives, and reproductive justice advocates, Dána-Ain Davis argues that events leading up to an infant’s arrival in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and the parents’ experiences while they are in the NICU, reveal subtle but pernicious forms of racism that confound the perceived class dynamics that are frequently understood to be a central factor of premature birth. The book argues not only that medical racism persists and must be considered when examining adverse outcomes—as well as upsetting experiences for parents—but also that NICUs and life-saving technologies should not be the only strategies for improving the outcomes for black pregnant women and their babies. Davis makes the case for other avenues, such as community-based birthing projects, doulas, and midwives, that support women during pregnancy and labor are just as important and effective in avoiding premature births and mortality.
Book Synopsis The Impact and Experience of Doula Support in Black Birthing Communities by : Joelle Burnley
Download or read book The Impact and Experience of Doula Support in Black Birthing Communities written by Joelle Burnley and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black women have had a long history of poorer access to quality medical services as well as a history of being mistreated and not listened to within the medical system (Petersen et al., 2019). With regard to maternal healthcare services related to pregnancy and the birthing process, the inequities and mistreatment of black women place both mothers and their infants at higher risks of life-threatening medical complications, and traumatizing experiences during the process. "During 2007-2016, a total of 6,765 pregnancy-related deaths occurred in the United States (Pregnancy related mortality ratios (PRMR) = 16.7 per 100,000 births). PRMRs were highest among black (40.8) and AI/AN (29.7) women; these rates were 3.2 and 2.3 times the PRMR for white women" (Petersen et al., 2019). Doulas have been defined as a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational supports to mother before, during and shortly after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible (DONA, 2015). A growing body of literature demonstrates that when women are attended by a doula, there are positive medical outcomes for both mother and baby. Further, research suggests a favorable relationship between labor support and improved birth outcomes, psychologic benefits for the woman, and enhanced fetal well-being with doula support (Sauls, 2002). The purpose of this scoping review was to understand, summarize, determine and define what is currently known about the experiences, supports and services doulas provide in regards to Black women. Literature from studies and articles over the last ten years, between 2010-2021 from a variety of databases were used. Narratives of doulas and mothers were explored assessing the overall experiences to understand how the assistance of doulas during and after birth can help to improve the emotional and mental health wellbeing of Black women in the birthing process. Findings from this review raises awareness and offers information about the need for advocacy and support for black birthing communities.
Download or read book The Doulas written by Mary Mahoney and published by The Feminist Press at CUNY. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaving together how-to manual, activist memoir, and manifesto, The Doulas is an “honest, raw, and charged” treatise on full-spectrum doula care. (Rewire) As more feminist conversation migrates online, the activist providers of the Doula Project remain focused on life’s physically intimate relationships: between caregivers and patients, parents and pregnancy, individuals and their own bodies. They are committed to supporting a pregnancy no matter the outcome—whether it results in birth, abortion, miscarriage, or adoption—and to facing the question of choice head-on. In this eye-opening book, Doula Project founders Mary Mahoney and Lauren Mitchell present the history, philosophy, and practices of these caregivers, contextualizing the doula movement within the larger scope of pregnancy care and reproductive rights. They illustrate how, through their unique hands-on activism, full-spectrum doulas provide tangible support for those confronting life, death, and the sticky in-between.
