A Black woman in labor was flat out IGNORED. it was disheartening.
But I also want to add statistics to the conversation. Black women in the U.S. are 3–4x more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications, twice as likely to experience severe maternal morbidity, and far more likely to have their pain dismissed or labeled as “anxiety.” So you absolutely SHOULD SEE COLOR in medicine!!
