✨ Holiday Convenience vs. Your Birth Plan ✨

This holiday season, some doctors may suggest inductions for convenience. But your body & baby know the right time. 💕

Say, "No, thank you." Trust your body and advocate for your timeline—it matters! 🌟

It’s a great day for women and babies in Virginia! Gov. Youngkin commits to:
Boosting funding for data collection
Expanding prenatal/postpartum care in rural areas
Increasing education for doulas, midwives & OBGYNs.

A big step for better care across the Commonwealth!

"Kenda Sutton-EL, founder and executive director of Birth in Color, a Richmond-based nonprofit, said it is common for doctors in Virginia to ignore the concerns of Black women."

Virginia advocates, lawmakers look to address high Black maternal mortality rate

Black Americans face a US health care system still impaired by structural racism and implicit bias. The situation is especially dire for Black people going through pregnancies.

In 2023, over 14,000 Virginians needed abortion care, as restrictive laws in nearby states took effect.

Healthcare access shouldn’t depend on your ZIP code. Support our fight for equity this #GivingTuesday: birthincolor.org/donate or Link in BIO.

Birth in Color @birthincolor.bsky.social · Dec 3

Nationwide, 40% of Black birthing people report discrimination during maternity care (CDC, April 2023). This is unacceptable.

We’re fighting for equitable, inclusive care where every family is treated with dignity.
