In this episode of the Birth Uprising Podcast I talk with Marissa Bergman, a mother, nurse and childbirth educator who wants to bring light to a huge issue facing pregnant women today - that of lack of access to care in areas known as "maternity care deserts".
In this episode we discuss:
- what a "maternity care desert" is and how prevalent they are
- the cost of hospital birth vs home birth
- the one 6 week postpartum visit & returning to work
- feeling "mom guilt"
- how hospitals squash their competition & keep birth centers from opening
- the politicization of health care
