Maternal Health Stories

 

Michigan’s Hear Her campaign features compelling stories from pregnant and parenting people about their experiences during birth or after pregnancy. They share how pregnancy challenges and complications have affected them.

The campaign also includes stories from healthcare professionals on their experiences caring for Michigan birthing persons. They highlight the importance of providing respectful and quality care to every patient.

These stories can be used as a call to action to implement, support, and uplift strategies that aim to improve maternal health and birth outcomes.
