I met Samantha on Capital Hill. She like many of us lost her first born baby, but again like so many of the women here on this podcast instead of ignoring the stillbirth crisis in America she dove into research to help solve the problem.
Even though her doctor told her that her pregnancy was a “low risk” pregnancy she uncovered the real truth about stillbirth in America or the utter lack of progress in improving the US stillbirth rate.
Following her daughter's death, Samantha became known within the loss community for her candid writing on grief and has been featured in The Washington Post, TODAY, ProPublica, and ABC News. She survived the harrowing experience of two subsequent pregnancies, delivering a healthy son and second daughter. In 2021, she united with other bereaved parents founding PUSH to change the U.S. healthcare system from the top-down. (copied from www.pushpregnancy.org)
