“The maternal problem”

Overview.

These topic are all about the different maternal problem of the mother. The problems affecting the health of the
mother and the baby are multifactoral. Due to this,maternal mortality and severe morbidity are currently major problem
in reproductive health. With this research it may help us to know what are the different maternal problem of the
mother.

What is maternal health?

This is refers to the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period. Each stage should be a
positive experience, ensuring women and their babies reach their full potential for health and well-being.

Maternal complication.

Complications of pregnancy include physical and mental conditions that affect the health of the pregnant or
postpartum person, their baby, or both. Physical and mental conditions that can lead to complications may start before,
during, or after pregnancy. It’s very important for anyone who may become pregnant to get health care before, during,
and after pregnancy to lower the risk of pregnancy complications.

What are the maternal problem?

These are the common complication only.

Anemia
Anemia is having lower than the normal number of healthy red blood cells. People with anemia may feel tired and weak. You
are more likely to get iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy because your body needs more iron than normal. Your health
care provider will check your number of red blood cells during your pregnancy. Treating the underlying cause of the anemia, if
possible, can help restore the number of healthy red blood cells. Your provider may also recommend you take iron and/or folic
acid supplements to help prevent and manage anemia.

Anxiety

Anxiety disorders are common before, during, and after pregnancy. If you have an anxiety disorder, you may struggle with
uncontrollable feelings of anxiety, nervousness, fear, worry, and/or panic. These feelings can be intense and may last a long
time. They can also interfere with relationships and daily activities, such as work or school. Anxiety disorders often occur with
depression. Getting treatment for anxiety before, during, and after pregnancy is important. Talk to your health care provider as
soon as possible if you think you have an anxiety disorder

Depression

Everyone feels sad sometimes, but these feelings usually pass in a few days. Depression interferes with daily life and may last
Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease that affects how your body turns food into energy. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2,
and gestational diabetes. For pregnant people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, high blood sugar around the time of conception
increases the risk of birth defects, stillbirth, and preterm birth. Among people with any type of diabetes, high blood sugar
throughout pregnancy can also increase the risk of preeclampsia, cesarean delivery, and the baby being born too large. To
manage your diabetes, see your doctor as recommended, monitor your blood sugar levels, follow a good nutrition plan
developed with your provider or dietician, be physically active, and take insulin, if directed. Managing diabetes can help you
have a healthy pregnancy.

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

High blood pressure is a common heart condition occurring when your blood pressure is higher than normal. Chronic
hypertension means having high blood pressure before you get pregnant or before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Gestational
hypertension is high blood pressure that first occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Preeclampsia happens if you previously had
normal blood pressure and suddenly develop high blood pressure and protein in your urine or other problems after 20 weeks
of pregnancy. If you have chronic hypertension, you can also get preeclampsia. High blood pressure increases the risk of
preterm delivery, and low birth weight, plus more serious issues such as eclampsia, stroke, and placental abruption (the
placenta separating from the wall of the uterus). High blood pressure may be prevented and is treatable. These 7 strategies to
live a heart-healthy lifestyle, plus at-home self-measured blood pressure monitoring with support from your health care
provider, can help you manage your high blood pressure. If you are at high risk for preeclampsia, your provider may
recommend low-dose aspirin after 12 weeks of pregnancy

Hyperemesis Gravidarum

Many pregnant people have some nausea or vomiting, or “morning sickness,” especially in the first 3 months of pregnancy.
Hyperemesis gravidarum, however, is more extreme than “morning sickness.” It refers to persistent nausea and vomiting
during pregnancy. This can lead to weight loss and dehydration and may require intensive treatment. If you are concerned
about your symptoms, call your health care provider. If you have severe nausea (e.g., you are unable to drink for more than 8
hours or eat for more than 24 hours), seek medical care immediately

Weight

Starting pregnancy at a healthy weight can help reduce the risk of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, stillbirth, and cesarean
delivery. If you are underweight [PDF – 1 MB] or overweight, talk to your health care provider about ways to reach and
maintain a healthy weight before you get pregnant. Gaining a healthy amount of weight during pregnancy is also important
for your health during and after pregnancy.

Other complications:
Most of these complications develop during pregnancy and most are preventable or treatable. Other complications
may exist before pregnancy but are worsened during pregnancy, especially if not managed as part of the woman’s care.
The major complications that account for nearly 75% of all maternal deaths are: severe bleeding (mostly bleeding after
childbirth); infections (usually after childbirth); high blood pressure during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia and eclampsia);
complications from delivery; and unsafe abortion.

Reducing Your Risk.

Living a healthy lifestyle and getting health care before, during, and after pregnancy can lower your risk of pregnancy
complications.

1. Before you get pregnant, eat healthy, stay at a healthy weight, take care of your mental health, avoid tobacco
products, and limit or avoid alcohol. Preconception health care can also help you be as healthy as possible
before you become pregnant.
2. Once you’re pregnant, start prenatal care early and talk to your health care provider about health conditions
you have now or had in the past. If you are being treated for a health condition or taking certain medicines, your
provider might recommend changing the way your health condition is managed. Be sure to also discuss
problems you had in any previous pregnancies.
3. After pregnancy, see your health care provider for postpartum care. Be sure to discuss anything that doesn’t feel
right, including not just physical symptoms, but also feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion that make it
hard to take care of yourself, your baby, or others. You may need to see multiple different health care providers
to be as healthy as possible after pregnancy.
