Maternal Health Facts:

Every part of the family unit (fetus, infant, partner, support persons) is effected by the perinatal woman's health, a period that can be the most dangerous time of her entire lifespan. One in which she faces a:
  • 1 in 800 risk of death during pregnancy and up through the first year of her child's life.
  • An approximately 1 in 3 chance her child is born via cesarean section even though the World Health Organization recommends a rate of 15% or less for cesarean births.
  • Consistently rising maternal mortality rate. The United States is the only industrialized country in the world affected in this manner.
  • 15 to 20% chance of experiencing (during or after the birth of a child) more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety.
  • High likelihood of a traumatic childbirth experience. TCE occurs in as many as 25 to 34% of all births and approximately one-third of those effected may go on to develop Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
