Amelia's story: Surrounded by strong support

This nine-episode podcast explores the stories of six pregnant women in South Carolina. Monika Shehi Herr, Professor of English at University of South Carolina Upstate, looks closely at how we talk, or don't talk, about pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period--and how that discourse affects the quality of healthcare women in South Carolina receive as they make their babies.
