Pregnancy is as old as time, and it is a thing of joy, however it is also a battle field. In my language a woman that has just given birth is greeted as “ẹ kú ewu ọmọ” equivalent to “congratulations for escaping the dangers of child birth”.



For so long, humanity most especially Nigeria has been putting women on this battle field without fully giving them information, equipment and the care they need to scale through without hassles making a significant number of pregnant women die unduly. The fight against this negative trend is ongoing beginning with enlightening and educating Nigerians on the 5 leading causes of death in pregnant women.

What Is Maternal Mortality

Maternal mortality is the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination (ending) of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental causes.

Malaria should be on that list
And so should complications of Rubella since the MMR vaccination is not mandatory

The list is first 5 and malaria can not stand alone. Malaria is part of infection. And malaria killing pregnant women is so negligible compared to other infections. It is complications of Rubella on the baby that is dreaded not the effect on the mother, rubella rarely kill pregnant women, it is the baby that suffers. Thank you

Quite the contrary
“Asymptomatic” Malaria has a very high maternal mortality rate in this country
The second one complications of Rubella does not refer to a woman who is pregnant and then gets German measles. As there is a large percentage of women in West Africa whose mothers had German measles when pregannt resulting in undiagnosed CHD. In Obstetrics this is now standard protocol to request an ECG preferably before the women gets pregnant especially if the expectant mother is from West Africa. The reason the lack of a mandatory vaccination programme unlike the majority of Africa

Hypertension- Black people are genetically predisposed to hypertension due to the way our kidneys filter sodium the high sodium diet does not help
This is why instances of preeclampsia are higher amongst the black population

Yes ma, I am talking about leading causes in Nigeria not all causes. Ma'am malaria is not one of the first 5 causes of death in pregnant women in Nigeria. Rubella is also not one of the 5 leading causes and you can ask a gynecologist
