You know what has the best track record for reducing the chance of cesarean? The Midwifery Model of care.

Many states still have inadequate methods of tracking maternal deaths. How can you fix a problem if you don't know it's happening? #MaternalSafety

[ICAN @ICANBirth]

Women who have a #cesarean are at an increased risk of hemorrhage, a leading cause of #maternalmortality. #MaternalSafety

Rachel Yencha is among the women who told @USATODAY that they assumed all hospitals that deliver babies are prepared for #childbirth emergencies. #MaternalSafety #1of50K https://t.co/T0p1Av6RoH

[USA TODAY @USATODAY]

In countries with publicly funded national health care systems, it is easier to insist hospitals follow standard #MaternalSafety practices, Dr. James Martin Jr., of @UMMCnews & a past president of @acog, told @USATODAY. https://t.co/koCpYYAf9l

[SMFM @MySMFM]

Agreed! That's why we are advocating for federal legislation that would help states ramp up or expand the work of existing Maternal Mortality Review Committees #MaternalSafety https://t.co/VFAU99rrBl

Mothers who were from a rural area, experienced complications during delivery and/or had a #cesareansection were more likely to be exposed to disrespect &abuse during #childbirth than other women, according to a recent study in Ethiopia: https://t.co/vTE7cdQR0L via @BioMedCentral

#GenderDiscrimination and #Racism are two major contributors to the dismal #MaternalMortality & #Cesarean rates in the United States. Thank you, @CBSSunday and Dr. @neel_shah for shedding some light on such an important topic. #sheshouldbehere #everymomcounts
