Some details to note from this episode:

Infertility Disparities

  • Infertility affects 10% of women between the ages of 15 and 44 in the U.S. (CDC, 2019)

  • 7.4 million women and their partners are affected by fertility-related issues in the US (1,6).

  • Black women are actually twice as likely as white women to suffer from infertility, according to the most recent data from the (CDC, both from primary infertility (an inability to become pregnant) and secondary infertility (an inability to become pregnant after having conceived in the past).

  • myth of Black hyper-fertility in general society and in the Black community

  • “There persists an old, racist myth that Black women are somehow exceptionally fertile. (article- Annalisa Merelli on Quartz.co)

Dr. Joia Creer-Perry, 2018 “Race Isn’t a Risk Factor in Maternal Health. Racism Is.” Black women have always known: We can’t buy or educate our way out of dying in childbirth or having our babies die. Black women who live in affluent neighborhoods, receive prenatal care in the first trimester, are normal weight, and have advanced degrees are still more likely to die or have their baby die than white women in poor neighborhoods, with no prenatal care, who are obese, and don’t have a high school diploma.
