Synthesis
Patients feel betrayed by their bodies, isolated and grieved by the loss of a typical pregnancy and birthing experience
The logistical stress of increased appointments and repeated hospital admissions negatively affects patients’ mental and physical health
Inaccurate reporting to governments and data sent to researchers impedes progress in maternal health, especially with life-saving standards and regulations
Feeling confused, ignored, and afraid of contacting providers too often causes many patients to turn elsewhere for information and support

Approximately 60% of deaths in the U.S. are preventable, due to lack of training on implicit bias and current treatment protocols
