As I thought it might be because they were late in getting emergency help, so that caused them to die.

All we can do is to seek professional staff as soon as possible to overcome it

[EllieBasti05]

i think it is due to lack of awareness and through their beliefs. like in the old times, they are believing to the quack doctors compare to the real doctor or physician.

One of the commonest cause of maternal mortality is inadequate antenatal care during pregnancy. This could be resolved through adequate home visiting and education of pregnant women on the need for proper checkups.

[stevena82]

maternal and child mortality can be as a result of lack of proper education on the need to seek early antenatal care during pregnancy. Education on safe motherhood should be spread to every area within the society so that, those planning to give birth can appreciate the importance of seeking early counseling from healthcare providers

[marccolette]

The maternal and child mortality rate is due to delays in the routine examination of the fetus, the lack of expertise and the responsibility of the nurse practitioner and physician. The best way to reduce the mortality rate is to have a pregnant woman receive regular antenatal care as directed by a doctor.

Vaccination and the insistance on the use of toxic drugs. Bad diet and poisonous additives in the food don't help either.

It depends entirely on what part of the world we are talking about.

99% of maternal deaths occur in the developing world. Maternal mortality rate in developing countries is approximately 240 per 100,000 live births.¹ In the UK, it's around 8.5 per 100,000.²

In the developing world, the causes of death are usually preventable or treatable, and it is lack of access to healthcare that causes death. Causes like haemorrhage, infections, eclampsia, complications of birth and unsafe abortions.¹

In the developed world, women mostly die from unrelated chronic health conditions that are worsened by pregnancy, with cardiac disease being the biggest killer. A lot of women with these cardiac issues would not survive to child-bearing age in the developing world. Other significant causes in the developed world are thromboembolism (made more prevalent by high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, smoking, and all the other 1st-world diseases), and maternal suicide.

Bad diet, obesity, diabetes, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol, and illicit drugs all play a huge role in maternal and feral morbidity and mortality. Fixing these would go a long way to fixing the problem.

Some drugs, as you say, are toxic in pregnancy, and these are generally well known and now avoided by physicians. All the drugs we now routinely use in pregnancy are known to be safe.

There is no evidence vaccinations cause harm to mother or baby.

[KirunBarber]

what do you mean, maternal death during childbirth?
talk about pregnancy, lots of opinions or perceptions. lack of health care for a pregnant woman, mental condition or mental condition. besides that all must pay attention. between family, environment and government.
whether all delivery systems are in accordance with procedures or not. I think if all had fulfilled the requirements from starting experts to equipment, the mortality rate would decrease.

[Kiko Garcia]

I think it is the bad eating habits of pregnant women during pregnancy, and the poor physical condition of pregnant women themselves, the lack of nutrition to supply themselves and the fetus, resulting in dystocia caused by too heavy body load during pregnancy, resulting in death.

How do you truly fix the above mentioned vices when they are habits formed by supposed pregnant women? These women are adults and can be reasonable enough to do what is right by themselves. You can only take a horse to the stream but you can't force it to drink from it.

[AkexA95]

t's horrible. But I have no idea what to do with it. There should be social support from the state.

I agree, it has to do with control at every level, which is possible with today's medical science and technology
