<p>How did the longest government shutdown in history become a fight over whether Americans should have affordable health care or food on the table? Why can’t we have both?

<p>Former Teen Vogue editor and Project Runway judge Elaine Welteroth met with eight different doctors when she was pregnant with her first child. She knew Black women were three to four times more likely to die during and after childbirth, and she wanted to feel safe with her doctors. But that never happened. That’s why she chose to use a midwife, a birthing option that could play a pivotal role in solving America’s maternal health crisis. Today, Elaine is here with Chelsea to dispel myths about midwifery and explain how her organization birthFUND is working to make birthing less traumatic and more “transcendent.” Plus, they get into hypnobirthing and pelvic floor therapy.</p> <p>You can follow Elaine Welteroth on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elainewelteroth/?hl=en">Instagram</a> and learn more about birthFUND <a href="https://www.thebirthfund.com/">here</a>.
