A Black Woman's Pandemic Birth Experience
In a Narrative Matters essay featured in the October issue of Health
Affairs, Alexis Grant-Panting, a PhD student at Texas Woman's
University, documents her experience as a Black woman giving birth in
Texas during the COVID-19 pandemic
.
Against the background of statistics that show that Black women are 2.6
times more likely to die during childbirth than White women,
Grant-Panting writes about feeling ignored, belittled, and unprotected
by her doctors.
After refusing certain recommendations from her doctor, she was
ultimately labeled "uncooperative" in her medical notes.
Grant-Panting writes about the difficulties Black women experience in
exercising their bodily autonomy.
She concludes her essay by advocating for culturally competent,
community-based care models that provide holistic care for pregnant
people and prioritize Black birthing people's needs and experiences.
