Black women face higher risk of death during pregnancy CBSVillage
Danisha Baughan delivered her first two children in a hospital, and said both times she felt neglected. A week before she was due to give birth to her third child, the 38-year-old said this time she was going to a birthing center.
Dr. Nicola Pemberton, the OB-GYN who runs The Birth Center of New Jersey, said Baughan's fear is not unusual. "It's a multitude of reasons, and it's a horrible statistic," said Errol Pierre, the senior vice president of New York state programs at Healthfirst, a not-for-profit health insurer. There's a push on Capitol Hill to provide more than $1 billion in funding to address the disparity. Illinois Congresswoman Lauren Underwood, who is a registered nurse and one of the bill's key sponsors, said the funding would go toward"increasing the number and the diversity of our maternal health care workers."
