Better Postpartum Care by 2030
We can improve maternal health in this country.
By 2030, women will have access to the postpartum coverage and benefits that they need for a full year following their pregnancy. This targeted change is possible, yet to realize our vision we need your help.
The 100 Weeks Project
Maternal health transcends the traditional 40-week marker.
It doesn’t capture the conscious choice to have a baby. Nor the pain of trying, but not being able to conceive. It can’t possibly recognize the anxiety that creeps up knowing the mortality rates for mothers of color and the fear of bringing a child into this world. Forty weeks doesn’t consider the doubts and questions – is her doctor giving her the highest level of care she needs, or ignoring her pain? And after the baby is born, forty weeks doesn’t capture the nearly endless streams of worries and questions in the weeks and months that follow: Should I be feeling this way? Is it okay for me to reach out to my doctor with these questions or is their job done? How much will that cost?
Forty weeks doesn’t capture the time before getting pregnant, the experiences during pregnancy, labor and delivery, nor the time after giving birth.
The
Goal
What Happens to a New Mom After Giving Birth?
Our health care system isn’t set up to support postpartum care: health care coverage is fragmented and there is no systematic effort underway to ensure women are getting the care they need after pregnancy.
Through our work, we aim to create solutions that ensure every pregnant woman has access to and coverage of postpartum care services regardless of health care coverage.
