Same issues with native Americans

If the nurses & doctors can disregard the GOAT SERENA WILLIAMS what Black woman who’s NOT a celebrity having a baby got a chance? Judge Hatchett’s daughter in law DISREGARDED, denied treatment & died! We all need healthcare, but what good is it when it’s DENIED & U KNOW it’s race & religious piety?

But sadly there are ways too many of us who lose everything, because a "pro life" America, never meant our babies or our lives. /end

I wish I lived in a country that actually respected childbirth, instead of using it as a moral cudgel. I wish medical racism wasn't so prevalent, that you literally roll the die at safely giving birth as a black woman. And I wish that so many of my sisters didn't roll critically.

I know im not the only mother who has such horror stories. I know it's still ongoing. It's one of the reasons Greg and I weighed when stopping our plans for a second child. Especially giving the shutdown of my regular obgyn, it's too risky at my age to hope I dont go through that again.

Kiddo came into this world at 2:45 am, he has a bowel movement inside me from the stress. I nearly bled out because this hospital who had all my records mind you, forgot I habe anemia. Both my child and I survived. But the mental scars that night did to.

Of aspirin instead. It wasn't till well after 11pm that I was finally in the operating room. I recall my then partner asking the doctor whyban epidural wasn't given? He was trying to make up for his earlier shit. This woman told him and I that I could "handle the pain."

Stuck with an abusive, controlling partner. It was the worse. We went in at 7pm, was in a room by ten to 8, my water broke and I didn't see a nurse till around 10pm. I remember all of this because that was the time I was told it's "too late for an epidural." They gave my the equivalent...

Nah even after my water broke proving to him this was the real deal. I then dealt with hospital staff that let me lie for what felt like an eternity with no check up even though my water broke. I was in a room at least. But felt so alone. My family out of state.

And I quote " If you dont bring my granddaughter to the hospital, it will only take me a few hours to come find you and end you." Needless to say he believed her threat. Now you would think my woes began and stopped with my ex being am ignorant asshole right?

My Grandma made me put him on the phone. No less than 2 minutes later he was getting me in the car to go in. Still bitching it was false labor pains. I later asked Grandma when I brought the baby to her home in South Carolina what she said to him.

He tried forcing me to eat something. I told him im not doing ok, I need to go in. It took me calling my Grandma Ella in tears. I had no way to get to the hospital besides him. At that time he controlled our money, and the car. And I was in so much pain I didn't think to call 911.

But that night in February was intense. This being my first full term pregnancy. I was nervous and wanted to go to the hospital. The person I was with then dismissed my need. Told me ot was Braxton-Hicks...or false labor. Mind you he never had a damn baby.

To those still not believing the latest two viral stories of Black mother's being turned away, disrespected as their bodies are literally bringing children into this world... here is my story.

It was a normal night in Florida. I had been experiencing contractions off and on...

Its a real battle.

I mean some of us called out the Russian Bot problem for years. Along with SIBA's (Stock Image Black Accounts). Twitter is a phony's paradise.

If this is the level of insults in your arsenal maybe just quit there champ. Youve already told the internet you don't know what sexual parts women have.

I mean if you had said "girls can't masturbate" it would have made more sense then "jacked off." Considering the part that would need to be jacked a lot of us simply do not have.
