MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH OUTCOMES IN THE UNITED STATES

In maternal health, some barriers that have limited expecting and early  mothers from receiving maternal healthcare include lack of insurance coverage, laws and  policies that hinder reproductive women from obtaining care, and lack of education regarding  family planning and reproductive health. These limitations have led to social structures that  villainize mothers seeking healthcare, contributing to a number of adverse health outcomes for  reproductive women, children and the family unit.
