Black mothers face well-documented disparities in maternal health outcomes. At Love and Mom, we believe every mother deserves safe, respectful, and equitable care — and that honest information is part of getting there.
Why This Matters
Research consistently shows that Black women experience higher rates of pregnancy-related complications. These gaps are driven by complex factors, including unequal access to care and bias within the healthcare system — not by anything a mother does wrong.
