A bombshell hidden in the new U.S. maternal mortality #:
*rate doesn't include deaths >42 days postpartum
*the same report says 277 US women died >42 days in 2018, bringing full-year total to 935
*so 30% of US deaths not counted in the new rate @propublica

For the first time since 2007, the U.S. has an official maternal mortality rate. One researcher told me “we may have an even bigger problem with maternal mortality than we thought – and we already thought it was pretty terrible.” https://t.co/F2pa6zGKZv

Addressing maternal mental health is important not just for mom, but also for baby!
