Today I stand in solidarity with all moms to celebrate healthy pregnancies, beautiful bumps and raise awareness for equitable maternal care. #BumpDay 🤰🏽 🤎
Pregnancy is a beautiful and life-changing experience but as a woman of color, this time also comes with concerning maternal health issues. When I found out I was pregnant, the most important and difficult responsibility for us was finding the right health care provider that would deliver quality care, and value my life and the health of my baby.
The #blackmaternalhealth crisis is real. Black women are more likely to experience health disparities because our voices are undervalued, racism, access to quality care and many other structural inequalities. It is very important that we address these unacceptable disparities and advocate for a health care system that provides equity and safety to all women.
Join me in raising awareness for equitable maternal care:
1️⃣: Share this post on your stories using #blackmaternalhealth #bumpday
2️⃣: Visit Whattoexpectproject.org to contact your elected officials and urge them to take policy action that supports safe pregnancies and healthy babies.
3️⃣: Share a pregnancy photo (past or present) with #BumpDay and tag whattoexpect
“A healthy child needs a healthy Mom”.
This “Bump-Day” we want to raise awareness of the importance of Maternal health !
Prenatal and postpartum maternal health is critical to a mother’s physical and mental well-being and contributes to her ability to render loving, proper care to her newborn child at birth and years thereafter. When you take care of a mother’s maternal health, you are essentially taking care of nations ❤️🙌🏽.

Pregnancy in Pandemic!
Pregnancy is such a beautiful journey witj so many ups and downs that you want a constant support through out your journey.
Being pregnant in this pandemic has been little different thank my last one.
When I disclosed the news to few people.. the comment I got was so weird to hear “Oh you are having a pandemic baby”, “oh congratulations! You utilized this pandemic “ among others.. This baby is not a pandemic baby, this is our baby who we planned and lets not name babies born in 2020 and 2021 pandemic baby.
I am not allowed to have my partner along with me to hospital for checkups, ultrasound! He missed seeing the first heartbeat, the first look of our baby. Father’s have equal right to see and listen to heartbeat of there child but things are different now.
Having no family around, and with travel ban for flights from India, the support system I want post delivery can’t be there, our families cant see their grandchild. That’s so tough for them. Having family around is the best thing but things are so different nowdays. Its all replaced with zoom.
Your child cannot come and visit you in hospital, they have to stay home. That first hospital meet is so special. But instead the baby girl has to stay away from mommy and daddy for 2-3 days.
Things are so different now, its not easy being pregnant in pandemic. Lets be more considerate towards mommies who are having babies during this time.
