This week Dr Suba talks with Illy Morrison. She's a midwife and a mother – she’s built a great community through @mixing.up.motherhood where all things birth, parenting and relationships are addressed. She’s doing amazing work on advocacy in birth spaces, helping mothers on their journeys of healing from birth trauma and on gaining control in their birth experience.
Illy shares her birth experience with us: the highs, the lows and how bias was interwoven into it all. Through her story we learn about what contributes to negative and positive birth experiences, the importance of education and being informed and what birth trauma looks like + what to do about it.
In our short we learn about the MBRRACE-UK report that found that Black women were 5X more likely to die in and around pregnancy and get the latest on what’s being done about it.
PSA: protect Black women!
