Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing videos from our Maternal Health Video Portrait Series! ? These videos provide brief glimpses into the experience of women navigating the US health system who have high rates of disparities in the areas of maternal health. In our first video titled "Loss and Recovery: A Continuum of Care", Santina shares her deeply personal journey through her birthing experiences, highlighting the significant positive impact of support and environment. During her third pregnancy, she voiced concerns about her health and the baby’s health during prenatal visits but felt unheard.
