Black Pregnant Woman Shares Video Of White Nurse's Comments

Video footage of a white nurse practitioner accusing a Black pregnant woman of fraud has gone viral and incited outrage online.

In October, a woman named Jillian — who asked to have her last name withheld from this story for privacy and safety reasons — shared a video of her interaction with a nurse practitioner at a Philadelphia clinic. Jillian told TODAY Parents that on the day she captured the video on her phone, she was seven months pregnant and experiencing pain and other complications. She had asked her doctor for a note that would allow her to begin her maternity leave from her job as a home health aide.

“What were you thinking about when you got pregnant? That you were not going to work?” the nurse asks Jillian in the clinic’s lobby as she is waiting to receive her doctor’s note. “Because I had three kids. I worked up until the second they were born.”

“I was thinking about having a kid,” replies Jillian, 25, who is the mom of a 3-year-old daughter.

higher income women are battered to stay home and look after the children never mind that the reason they are better off is because they have a high paying job.
