Preconception Health – Our Life Cycle From the Womb to the Tomb Unerased | Black Women Speak

If maladies like fibroid tumors, preterm birth, or maternal death are the window into our life cycle, preconception health is the house that contains the burdens, opportunities and realities of our health outcomes before, during and prior to birth -- whether we decide to conceive at all. The schemes and blueprint of preconception health, imprinted en utero, carry our life cycle to the grave. We meet health professionals and equity advocates who share insights and tackle the complex labyrinth with overlapping birth, life and health consequences.
