Childbirth is the essential human experience, says journalist Allison Yarrow. It's also a major body event that can lead to health consequences for women years after delivery. Birth is a feminist issue, and Yarrow explains that afterward, society and healthcare focus on the baby while women's recovery and transition to motherhood is overlooked. In this important talk about maternal health, she implores families to not only tell birth stories, but after birth stories to change the narrative, get the care they need, and spur social change.
