Does ACOG C the Problem?
Part 2 of a Series Focused on Casting a Continuous Spotlight on the Maternal Mortality Rate in the U.S. When comparing the high Maternal Mortality Rate (M.M.R.) in the U.S. with the rise of Cesarean rates, there is clear correlation. In this episode of It Starts at Birth, Mark and Faith highlight The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist’s assessment of both of these concerning numbers.

C the Problem - Part 1 of a Series Focused on Casting a Continuous Spotlight on the Maternal Mortality Rate in the U.S.
C the Problem - Part 1 of a Series Focused on Casting a Continuous Spotlight on the Maternal Mortality Rate in the U.S. After decades of consistently declining numbers, the Maternal Mortality Rate (M.M.R.) reached an all-time low in the 1990's. But in 1997, the rate of maternal deaths began a rapid increase. What medical procedure shared a similar spike during these years of increase? Cesarean rates also shared a correlating path. In this episode of It Starts at Birth, Mark and Faith discuss the importance of looking at these rates side by side.
