It happens to be this little lady’s birthday today. Happy happy @havanasarah5! Hope you know just how loved and appreciated you are! ♥️
Just a few captures of the epic times we have shared. 🥳🥳🥳🥳♥️
The maternal mortality rate in the United States is the highest it’s been since 1965. If that doesn’t make you furious–it should.
This week, we’re getting loud about passing the Momnibus Act. Back on the floor for a third time, the #Momnibus is 13 bills designed to reduce preventable maternal deaths in the United States, and close the racial inequality gap in maternal health outcomes.
If everyone who is a mother, has a mother, knows or cares about a mother raises their voice and shares their stories, this bill will pass.
We can’t let one more year go by, or lose one more life.
Share this post and write your rep.

“The Business of Being Born” screened for audiences across the globe last weekend, and we couldn’t be more inspired. We received hundreds of messages from birth workers, new parents, expecting parents, and long-time supporters about how the film influenced their birth plans, fueled their passions, and gave them a voice in the delivery room. We’re humbled to be part of your journeys!
This special screening would not have been possible without support from @needed. Thank you Needed for your support and for meeting the nutritional needs of mamas and mamas-to-be! 97% of women in the US take a prenatal supplement, yet 95% of women are still deficient in key nutrients. Needed is on a mission to change that by empowering women with better education and products. They have built a collective of nearly 4,000 women’s health experts – from OBGYNs to midwives, dietitians, herbalists and functional medicine doctors – all working collaboratively to support women’s needs.
Stay tuned for exciting news from “The Business of Being Born” team. In the meantime, you can watch the film and access even more bonus content for a limited time by going to thebusinessofbeingborn.com or the link in bio!
