Black women are 3 times more likely to die from pregnancy related causes than white women, regardless of income or educational level.

Black mothers have the highest rate of depressive symptoms and yet are the least likely to receive treatment.

Black maternal health matters, especially as healthcare across the country worsens under abortion bans.

DID YOU KNOW…
The purple butterfly is a widely recognized symbol in neonatal care representing the loss of a twin, triplet, or multiple, often displayed on a cot or incubator to signify that a surviving baby was part of a multiple birth?💜

Disney’s latest short film Versa is about pregnancy loss — and it’s resonating with viewers.

The roughly nine-minute film, written and directed by Malcon Pierce and now available on Disney+, uses music and animated dance sequences to tell the story of two celestial beings excited to become parents. However, when they lose the pregnancy — depicted as a blue starlight inside the mother — the two begin a grieving process that initially separates them. By the end of the film, the beings come back together to heal and develop starlight scars on their bodies, marking what they have endured.

🐇If I could change anything about life it would be this moment.
🐇Today at 10:40am, (9 years ago) I had my ultrasound appointment for a check up on Darcie.
🐇As I’m laying on the table and the technician starts to use the monitor, her face freezes and as I’m looking too, I notice Darcie is just curled up into a ball.
🐇She moved the monitor around for a couple minutes then said, “I’m sorry, there’s no heartbeat.”
🐇My heart immediately sank, I began to cry and was thinking how can this happen, why is this happening.
🐇My doctor came in and hugged me and said she was so sorry and that I had the option to go home, or go to the hospital. 🏥
🐇I drove to the hospital where I met my husband a few minutes later.
🐇I wish that Darcie would be here and we would all be together.
🐇Tomorrow will be Darcie’s 9th birthday and I want to honor her and do things for others that would make her happy.
🐇We will be visiting Strong Memorial Hospital tomorrow with some goodies and surprising them and we hope others reading this will do the same for someone else in their lives.
🐇Please tag in your posts to share what you’re doing 💕💙
