INDIANAPOLIS — Close to 100 women across the state of Indiana died while pregnant, or shortly after giving birth, according to the State Department of Health’s most recent Maternal Mortality Report.Ariana McGree knows firsthand how scary the feeling of not being listened to by a doctor can be. She says she almost died giving birth to her daughter last year.
“I had to advocate for myself. Thank goodness for my mom because she finally called my doctor,” McGee, a speaker at the Women4Change Conference, said. “It was essentially a thinning in my uterus. It was so large you could see my daughter’s hair. Had I gone home, had I not had my mom there, my daughter and I would have probably both died,” McGee said.
According to Public Policy at Indiana University, Indiana has the third highest maternal mortality rate among all states that track the statistic.“I had my first child when I was 15-years-old and had my last child when I was 30-years-old,” Bradford said. “So, between those seven births I had all c-sections and wasn’t really educated on the risk that was taken until my last pregnancy.”She helps teen moms and dads navigate parenthood.
