This episode is dedicated to 'Bump Day' that is being celebrated this year(2020) on July 22nd. Bump Day is a day dedicated to raising awareness around maternal health needs around the world. This is a project by the International Medical Corps and ‘What to Expect’ and it aims to raise awareness and life saving donations to benefit maternal health, when and where it is needed the most.
The World Health Organization estimates that around 830 women die every day as a result of preventable pregnancy related causes. 99% of all maternal deaths happen in developing countries. In solidarity with the cause and to create awareness, I would like to share a piece on how motherhood changed me.
I will also be talking about how you can do your part in helping mothers across the world have healthy pregnancies.
Do join in the conversation post the episode on the Times of Amma Instagram page.
