In 2023, the 37yearold from texas almost died giving birth to her healthy daughter. Im never going to name that baby. Reporter after her placenta failed to deliver, she continued bleeding and needed a d c, which is often part of an abortion but can be necessary in other circumstances. She says she waited more than an hour to do it, but her condition continued to deteriorate until she lost consciousness and needed a blood transfusion.

The cdc data exclusive to Nbc News<\/a> reveals texas saw a 56 rise in maternal mortality in 2019 and 2022 compared to an 11 uptick nationwide. The biggest increase was among white women up 95 . Texas passed a neartotal Abortion Ban<\/a> back in 2021. 13 other states followed suit after the dobbs decision. Is texas a bit of a canary in the Coal Mine<\/a> when it comes to this issue .

Is it clear to you when you can perform an abortion and when you cannot . No, not really. So there is just this hesitancy that you can feel practicing in texas. Reporter the cashes believe its a systemic hesitancy that contributed to kaitlins experience. I went into that Delivery Woman<\/a> with a Doula And Health<\/a> insurance, and im white, and i have a masters degree. I went in with every privilege you could think of, and that still happened to me. Reporter now kaitlin advocates for Abortion Rights<\/a>. What do you feel when you look at your daughter .
