perilous childbirth

Perilous childbirth refers to the significant risks and complications that can arise during the process of giving birth. This includes dangers like excessive bleeding, infections, fetal distress, or complications from pre-existing health conditions. Factors such as inadequate prenatal care, lack of access to skilled healthcare, and elevated maternal age can increase these risks. Worldwide, especially in low-resource settings, many women face serious threats to their health and safety during childbirth. Addressing these issues through improved healthcare access and education can help reduce the dangers associated with childbirth.
