.@doccrearperry told @MHTF that there has been no official maternal mortality ratio reported in the U.S. since 2007. “We know exactly how many infants die every year, but we don’t count moms,” she says. “You don’t count what you don’t value.” harvardhealth.me/0eq

I follow @ImprovingBirth and live in hope that things get better and that evidence-based, compassionate, competent care becomes the norm for folks in the future - because it absolutely was not for me.

Unfortunately what you experienced is the standard of care most women in this country experience. You've done an incredible job of spelling it out. This is not ok and we are doing out best @Improvingbirth to make it better
