I would not want my women to give birth in the hospital
Why do the numbers get WORSE for black women once they pass the 80th percentile?
Because of racism in those hospitals.
Racism alone doesn't explain it since white women see a slight increase as well at 90%.
It does explain it and I have yet to hear a black women die of natural childbirth through a doula.
I rather my women have a natural child birth through a doula over a hospital.

"Perhaps unexpectedly, babies born to the richest 20 percent of families are the least healthy, the study finds. They are more likely to be born premature and at a low birth weight, two key risk factors for medical complications early in life. This is because their mothers are more likely to be older and to have twins (which are more common with the use of fertility treatments), the researchers found."

An analysis of two million births in California, the first research of its size to include both race and income, shows the best medical care for mothers and babies is not equally accessible to everyone.
