I can believe that there is a lot of variance in maternal care and obstetrics in the US, but my wife and I had a pretty good experience. Documented here in what detail I could muster in those days: https://wiki.roshangeorge.dev/w/Pregnancy

Congrats!

But statistically America lags behind most other nations of similar development levels.

Not to mention the lack of maternity leave or real worker protections. A family member was fired for taking off time during a pregnancy. Everyone's fine now, but she definitely had a rough patch.

A big part of this comes down to the lack of any real safety net here.

Wow, looking at the data on that page, it seems that people should go to Belarus if they want to have a baby.

Lukashenko did a good job apparently.
