Presented by mater mea and Un-ruly in partnership with Gerber, the platform was created in response to the fact that Black women are three times more likely to die than white women during pregnancy or childbirth, regardless of income or education. At the same time studies have shown that doula-assisted mothers are more likely to have positive birthing outcomes. As such, we’ve created Overdue to bring the informational support doulas provide to as many Black expectant parents as possible with the aim of stemming this crisis by giving them the tools to navigate a biased healthcare system, and arm them with the information needed to advocate for themselves during the prenatal, birth, and postpartum and recovery stages of their pregnancy.
