Why I support Every Mother Counts

Right after I gave birth to my daughter in 2003, I saw a photo on the front page of the NYTimes of a woman holding and looking at her baby in a town far, far, away. I felt that same love. Same.

At 40, I planned to birth at a hospital, then changed mid pregnancy to the Elizabeth Seton birthing center in NYC. But 3 months before my due date, Elizabeth Seton, the only free standing birthing center in NYC, closed due to insurance escalation costs. I was then able to birth at home with a midwife. My health insurance company gave me the run around initially, but eventually they covered the cost.

I was lucky. I had choices, support, and insurance during one of the most vulnerable and deeply meaningful events in my life.

Please join me in supporting the work of Every Mother Counts.

Every Mother Counts works to achieve quality, respectful, and equitable maternity care for every mother, everywhere.
