[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest causes of maternal mortality are hemorrhage, infection and issues related to hypertension (pre-eclampsia). The truth is Americans are unhealthier as a whole compared to other countries. A lot of pregnant women are overweight which leads to a higher chance of complications. In addition we do a lot more unnecessary interventions which can lead a woman down a more dangerous path. A long induction with pitocin for example increases a woman's chance of hemorrhage. Our c/s rate is extremely high compared to other countries and any surgery comes with a risk of more complications such as infection.[/quote] No, the actual truth is that poverty and systemic racism are behind all the things you chalk up as the causes.[/quote] Citation absolutely needed. A credible citation. [/quote] How little have you looked into this issue that you’re unaware that Black women die at far higher rates than White women? [/quote]
