Why do some mothers die after birth?

Answer 1

there can be many ans to this question, but it is said that those girls who take shower when they are in their period get weak internally and their body cant handle the pressure of giving birth.

Answer 2

the cervix does not close properly after birth and the woman keeps bleeding, blood pressure can also rise to a dangerous point, another way is through c section if she can't survive that. heart attack is another way.

Answer 3

Back in the old days, thousands of women died in childbirth every year, because there wasn't enough hospitals, doctors, medicines, and surgeries to save their lives.

When a woman dies in childbirth, it's usually because her body isn't strong enough to withstand the stresses of labor. Sometimes, the baby dies, too.

Answer 4

only in very rare cases do people, even young people, die giving birth. one of the reasons why they might die is if the baby gets stuck in the birth canal. the baby could die if the placenta is in the wrong place too.

Answer 5

Many mothers used to die after birth back hundreds of years ago because they did not have the right ingredients to save them. Today, not many mothers die of birth and if they do so it is for birth defects on the mother.

Answer 6

The most common two reasons women die during or soon after giving birth are:

1. hemorrhage - a sudden, severe, and profuse loss of blood and blood volume in the body, which is often very difficult to stop because it originates inside the uterus
2. a thrombosis (blood clot) that originates with blood loss, then becomes an embolus (a blood clot that has broken free in a blood vessel and then travels to the lungs, the heart, or to the brain -- in one or more of those 3 places, the clot or clots stop blood flow and oxygen delivery to a vital organ)
3. uterine infection - can occur up to 6 weeks AFTER delivery of a fetus. This used to be very common prior to the 1940s before the discovery of Penicillin. But uterine infection (called puerperal fever) can still occur and can lead to death if untreated.

Answer 7

the older women are the deadly the birth is. women die from birth because of so much blood is coming out.

Answer 8

Mainly because of infections contracted from unsanitary conditions. Simply having doctors and midwives wash their hands reduced the number of "childbirth fever" cases dramatically.

Answer 9

Yes, it happens.

It was a lot more common earlier. These days, someone giving birth at a hospital, it's really rare.
