Black Maternal Health Week is recognized each year from April 11-17 to bring awareness to Black maternal health.

During Black Maternal Health Week, learn how you can support pregnant people in your life to reduce factors that contribute to pregnancy-related complications and death.

Pregnant people and their families can:
Talk to a healthcare provider if "something doesn't feel right."

Know and seek immediate care if experiencing any of the urgent maternal warning signs, including severe headache, extreme swelling of hands or face, trouble breathing, heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge, overwhelming tiredness, and more.

These symptoms could indicate a potentially life-threatening complication.

Share recent pregnancy history during each medical care visit for up to one year after delivery.

Connect with healthcare and social support systems before, during, and after pregnancy.
