The report confirmed earlier findings that women of African or Amerindian
origin and Alaska Natives are more likely to die as a result of
pregnancy-related complications of about three times than white women.

be among our country's top priorities,"CDC" Director Robert R. Redfield said
in a statement.
Most deaths occurring between weeks and a year after childbirth are the
result of weak heart muscle while severe bleeding, hypertension and
infection cause most deaths within a week after childbirth. Most of the
women who died during childbirth were then subjected to emergency situations
such as severe bleeding and leakage of the amniotic fluid fluid in which the
fetus lived in the bloodstream.
The study examined local data on pregnancy-related deaths over four years
and data from four years of maternal mortality review committees in 13
states.
