In 2022 there were approximately 22 maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births in the United States — far above rates for other high-income countries. U.S. maternal mortality is lowest for Asian American women and highest for Black women.
Maternal death rates increased in Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, and the U.S. during the height of the pandemic, between 2020 and 2021. In Chile, Norway, and the U.S., where 2022 data are available, maternal death rates have begun to decline.
Nearly two of three maternal deaths in the U.S. occur during the postpartum period, up to 42 days following birth. Compared to women in the other countries we studied, U.S. women are the least likely to have supports such as home visits and guaranteed paid leave during this critical time.
The U.S. and Canada have the lowest supply of midwives and ob-gyns. In the U.S., Canada, and Korea, ob-gyns outnumber midwives.
High-quality postpartum care is intended to ensure the physical and emotional recovery of mothers and their babies and can help reduce maternal deaths…Home visits give providers an opportunity to address maternal and mental health concerns as well as to assess the mother’s available supports and social drivers of health, including needs for food, housing, financial security, and protection from domestic violence.
All countries, apart from the U.S., guarantee at least one such home visit within one week postpartum, although Medicaid programs in some U.S. states cover these visits.
Paid maternity leave allows women to better manage the physiological and psychological demands of motherhood, helps ensure financial security for families, and leads to lower infant mortality. All countries included in this study, apart from the U.S., mandate at least 14 weeks of paid leave from work. Several countries provide more than a year of parental or home care leave.

No amount of govt money for maternity care will offset the bad numbers put out by the 3rd world making babies within our country. Look at how few of them even wash their hands!!
Some other material I am reading makes it clear that while abortion clinic operations are prioritized in low income areas, obstetric units in hospitals are shutting down.
Asian: 14.2
White: 18.1
Hispanic: 20.6
Black: 55.9
This is disturbing, no matter how you look at, but the discussion is so policy wonk skewed it’s worthless. Are these deaths occurring in single mothers/ no PCP? Where is the public education on this? If not sor your digging this up at an obscure source, I wouldn’t have heard of it.
May post in the future:
“ The rising trend in pregnancy-related deaths during the past 2 decades in the United States stands out among other high-income countries where pregnancy-related deaths are declining. Cardiomyopathy and other cardiovascular conditions, hemorrhage, and other chronic medical conditions are all important causes of death. Unintentional death from violence, overdose, and self-harm are emerging causes that require medical and public health attention.”

TThis is something trump will care about, id it is brought to his attention. What a meaningful outreach to blacks, no phony stuff about transgendering that the Biden administration focused on.
It truly is alarming. It’s abhorrent how much money and energy goes towards abortion instead.
I call bullshit! How many of these deaths are at the hand of abortionists? Are such deaths even included in this “study”?
Again, I call bullshit. I have worked at several jobs over the last 10 years as I’ve navigated my mid-life crisis trying to figure out where I fit in and where I like the job and at every single job, not only do the mothers receive 12 weeks of paid time off but so do the fathers. And, at a couple of those jobs, the mother and father were both employed at the same job. They didn’t even have to be married. So, suck it, this study! You lie!
No. Sadly. And I can believe it even based on what friends of mine have been through, but thankfully lived through. Not just pregnancy, miscarriage mishandling, etc… but gynecological issues in general. The medical system hates women. Hates life.
A question from the back of the class?
Yes, teach. How many maternal deaths were there per abortion?
I'll see myself to the principal's office and take your answer/hysterical rant over the intercom.
I don’t doubt that. This “study” seems to be blaming the carnage onto conditions well after the birth of the child.
HERE IN HOUSTON WE HAVE THE HIGHEEST MATERNAL MORTALITY RATE OF ANY CITY IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD VIA ECLAMPSIA AND HYPERTENSION. PREGNANT HUMANS PREFER AIRCONDITIONED COMFORT WITHOUT SUN OPTIMIZED VITAMIN D3. A HIGH CARB DIET DEPLETES MAGNESIUM STORES. DEFICIENCIES OF MAGNESIUM AND D3 ARE THE CAUSE OF THESE MATERNAL MORTALITIES.
The Covid vax contributed to lost pregnancies. “Safe and Effective”.
In fact, I recall reading a few accounts in VAERS of babies nursing from recently vaxxed mothers dying in what appeared to be inconsolable painful distress. There was a video of a medical office in which staff said pregnancies and births dropped dramatically after the vax rollout. The gov isn’t going to admit that, but there’s medical reason to be concerned given the spike proteins lodge in the ovaries, placenta etc. and those spikes are there to ‘train’ the immune system to attack.
The fact that the high mortality rate is occurring postpartum says to me that women are picking up infections and going septic or throwing clots, probably after C sections. The US has a high C section rate.
Since Asians have the highest rates of marriage and the least loss of death after childbirth and blacks have the lowest rates of marriage and the greatest deathrate after childbirth it would seem to imply that those who have the support of a man have the highest rate of surviving.
I’d like to see your hypothesis put to the test, because it’s obvious from this the medical establishment doesn’t have a clue.
An honest study would connect this to obesity among black women.
