...Showtime! (with Anu)

It's that moment we've been waiting for... it's Baby's Big Showtime!! But you'll need to have been living under a rock to not know about latest figures that suggest that black mothers are five times more likely to die in childbirth than white mothers in the UK. On the surface it doesn't make sense – how does that disparity come about?! And on a human level, it is petrifying!We revisit our conversation with Anu from episode 1 to answer the hows and whys, and also talk about the ways that black mothers and our birthing partners can advocate for and safeguard our wellbeing.Visit www.fivexmore.com for resources for mothers, birthing partners and healthcare professionals.Use the code THRIVE to get 50% off a Black Ballad membership for a year at www.blackballad.co.ukJoin the conversation on social media! #BBSurvivalGuide Hosted on Acast.
