New statistics from the CDC. 80% of deaths in pregnant and postpartum women are preventable. This number just breaks my heart; it simply should not be. Like so many other struggles, it feels like it will last forever, and like you are the only one to feel this way. But, I promise, it will not and you are not.
Please, please, please reach out for help if you are pregnant or a new mom and experiencing depression or anxiety. There is hope.
The vast majority of deaths among pregnant women and new mothers in the United States are preventable, according to a new report.
