Rachell is a registered nurse and pairing her expertise in palliative care with the pregnancy journey. Assuming that every pregnancy results in a delivery can be a rare outcome, especially for women of color. This episode includes trauma and loss during the pregnancy journey. For Rachell, her pregnancy journey began in 2018 and she didn't end up in the delivery room until 2022. Rachell lost 9 babies along her pregnancy journey and she is leveraging her lived experience to share the lifesaving pivot that is needed within maternal health and care. Rachell started ' A Light After Nine" to honor her 9 babies, and to offer hope, wellness, and overall wellbeing for women in their pregnancy journey. Palliative maternal care would include a step by step handholding experience with mom, but also the entire care team, and support system to ensure that there is not only extensive knowledge sharing but also creating the trust within her own body to advocate and have the confidence to speak up if something isn't right. Rachell provides services free of charge because she doesn't want one more life sacrificed through what we don't know or don't have the access to the services.
