I didn’t know that I even had a baby…9 years later and I have no memory of that at all.”“How it is literally ok to not be ok, while feeling blessed to be alive.” “I highly recommend the moment that you feel like you are someone who can advocate for yourself and for others.”  About MoMMAs VoicesMoMMAs Voices (Maternal Mortality & Morbidity Advocates) is the first-ever maternal health patient advocates program bringing together real patient and family voices.
