Summary
This post shares some information on pregnancy, anxiety, and race based on responses that PowerMoms like you have shared with us. The more PowerMoms we have, the more we learn from each other.
The results we’re sharing on anxiety during pregnancy by race reflect what our PowerMoms have told us. Your voices help us better understand the special challenges and experiences you go through during pregnancy.
The difference between the dark blue and light blue bars highlights why it’s essential to take racial perspectives into account. While a few white PowerMoms mentioned rarely feeling anxious without a reason, a significant number of non-white PowerMoms shared that they experienced such anxieties more frequently.
As more PowerMoms join this study and we learn more, we can see if this trend continues to grow and perhaps learn why. Thank you for being a part of our community and helping us grow and learn more!
