This is gone beyond parody now. So Clemmie is being blamed for all non-white maternal deaths now, wtf?!I worry that some of the people on mumsnet aren't trolls.

Agree. There are several reasons why black mothers have a higher mortality rate, such as higher preponderance to pre-eclampsia and lower take up of pre-natal care, so to imply it's down to negligence by (presumably white) midwives seems quite a stretch. All my children were (safely) delivered by black midwives, fwiw.This is gone beyond parody now. So Clemmie is being blamed for all non-white maternal deaths now, wtf?!
Mumsnet is either full of trolls, or people determined to blame one woman because of her race. Or both. MNHQ would ban you if you said thatThis is gone beyond parody now. So Clemmie is being blamed for all non-white maternal deaths now, wtf?!

The research that highlights black women are 5 times more likely to die in childbirth, makes this assertion after for controlling for confounding factors such as the above health complications. Given this, structural and implicit racism are a contributing factor to black maternal deaths. Therefore midwifes ( not just white ones) and the healthcare systems around black women are sadly a part of this issue.Agree.

Exactly this I’m concerned Clemmie is suddenly the poster child of causing maternal black deaths , there’s loads of health reasons black women have higher incident of maternal morbidity and mortality and neglect is way down that list .Agree.
