[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its true. It has to do with access to prenatal care. Countries that have government run or subsidized healthcare tend do do a little better on the list.[/quote] Yes, and since we've got half our population currently living in poverty or near poverty, MANY women are not getting the prenatal care they need. [/quote] But, isn't prenatal care more crucial for the health of the baby, versus health of the mom? [/quote] I don't know who it's more crucial for, but it's definitely important for both. Prenatal care helped my doctors discover I was at risk of having a stroke while pregnant. We have a lot of risk factors in America, including poor diet (in the form of obesity), high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, sedentary lifestyles, etc. Some pregnant women have anemia, syphillis, HIV, and other conditions or diseases that increase the risk of maternal death.
