ObGyn Discusses Maternal Mortality

Doctor mom breaks down maternal mortality on a personal level and addresses c-section rates, US mortality rates, and Philip DeFranco's video about the Maternal Mortality Crisis. I made this in an effort to reduce fear I see in my patients, because there is already too much fear around birth, and to bring awareness to this massive issue in the United States and some of the common misconceptions and overlooked points.
