Written by Tamika Rowe, courtesy of Health in Her Hue Black women are magical, fierce, independent, and are dying from one of the most natural acts -- giving birth. In the United States, Black mothers die at 3 to 4 times the rate of their white counterparts from childbirth. Additionally, they are 243 percent more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth-related conditions, such as postpartum hemorrhage and eclampsia. These statistics transcend the boundaries of education and income.
