1205 people died of maternal causes in the US in 2021 vs 658 in 2018. JAMA EIC @KBibbinsDomingo spoke with @doccrearperry, @mclemoremr, and @AMeadowsMD about these preventable #MaternalMortality deaths, which are particularly high among Black people https://t.co/0gU4aJpeGo

Maternal telehealth has become the norm, but some Black birthing people can’t access the benefits. That’s why Kimberly Seals Allers created a free hotline to share positive Black birth stories. https://t.co/WGbeUevcoT

@PeiyinHung @UofSCbdhsc @UofSC_CHQ @Sayward80 Congrats Dr. @PeiyinHung!

[Black Maternal Health Caucus @BMHCaucus]

Medicaid pays for:

🟥 43% of all births
🟥 67% of births among American Indian or Alaska Native mothers
🟥 66% of births among Black mothers
🟥 60% of births among Hispanic mothers
🟥 50% of rural births

We must expand yearlong postpartum Medicaid to promote birth equity!

@MarchofDimes It was wonderful to work with the MOD team to plan this collaborative summit. There is so much opportunity to act on these ideas to support the nation’s commitment to improving the lives of pregnant people and their families.

Today I will mark the first ever @WhiteHouse Maternal Health Day of Action. We must do everything we can to protect and strengthen maternal health and reproductive health. This is about the rights of women and the future of our nation. https://t.co/ydslUE8mfX

Facts from @doccrearperry:

• No evidence that the COVID vaccine causes infertility.

• COVID causes premature birth.

If you're pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant, and on the fence about vaccination, "talk to your [health care] provider," she tells @IAmAmnaNawaz.

[CDC @CDCgov]

CDC issues urgent health advisory, strongly recommends #COVID19 vaccination for those pregnant, recently pregnant or trying to become pregnant or who might become pregnant in the future to prevent serious illness, deaths, & adverse pregnancy outcomes. https://t.co/UmM8L5YSNd

[ACOG @acog]

Pregnant? ACOG and @MySMFM now recommend #COVID19 vaccination of pregnant individuals and urge our members to recommend that pregnant patients #GetVaccinated. The #covidvaccine is the best tool we have to save lives and end the pandemic: https://t.co/pUbLqqkKym #VaccinesWork

[Rep. Lauren Underwood @RepUnderwood]

BREAKING: My bill, the Protecting Moms Who Served Act, just passed the House! This is the first bill in the #Momnibus to pass the House and a major step toward ending maternal mortality and disparities among veterans. It's time for the Senate to pass this bill now!
