4/ One: our system is designed based on century-old, invalid view that childbirth is inherently dangerous for all mothers, all of the time…ironically, this leads us to cause harm by intervening too much, too soon preventaccreta.org/ @kristenterlizza @preventaccreta
We must prioritize #MaternalSafety
About 700 women die in childbirth in the U.S. every year. The best estimates say that half of these deaths could be prevented. usat.ly/2v8KyHg #MaternalSafety
Yes, @neel_shah your work, advocacy, and research surrounding #MaternalSafety is amazing. Your @acog debate on #CesareanPrevention was powerful. Thank you for what you’re doing to save lives and improve care.
Thank you @neel_shah and @CBSSunday for helping to shed some light on the #maternalmortality crisis. #MaternalSafety

Facility policies are preferences. Using the words "required", "must", or "will be", does not make them laws. #MaternalSafety
Dear, #HuntsvilleALobgyn s ... 🛑 ✋🏽 For the sake of #Maternalsafety over #LiabilityFocusedCare #FIRSTdoNoHarm
ACOG says a pregnant women has the same likelihood of guessing her baby's weight inutero as an ultrasound machine does. Why are providers still doing routine ultrasounds to estimate fetal weight? #MaternalSafety

Full scope obstetric care to include the option of #VBAC. #maternalsafety
Women in rural areas need access to full scope obstetric care. ruralhealthweb.org/blogs/rur… #MaternalSafety
Exactly. Like #VBAC calculators decreasing WOC’s access to avoiding preventable surgeries. #CramTheCalculator #MaternalSafety #RacismInMaternityCare

Many states still have inadequate methods of tracking maternal deaths. How can you fix a problem if you don't know it's happening? #MaternalSafety

#MaternalSafety starts with respectful care that treats mothers as whole people with full lives & responsibilities.

To more fully understand pregnancy-related death in the United States, we must also look at racial and ethnic disparities. Black women in this country are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. #MaternalSafety

Overuse of c-sections matters because, while these surgeries are critical and often lifesaving in limited circumstances, they also bring serious risks for both mothers and babies. More from our @StephanieTeleki: chcf.org/blog/working-toward… #maternalsafety
