Complications of pregnancy<\/b>\u00a0are health problems that are related to\u00a0pregnancy. Complications that occur primarily during\u00a0childbirth\u00a0are termed\u00a0obstetric labor complications, and problems that occur primarily after childbirth are termed\u00a0puerperal disorders. Severe pregnancy complications, childbirth, and puerperium are present in 1.6% of mothers in the US a<\/sup>nd 1.5% of mothers in Canada.<\/sup>\u00a0In the immediate\u00a0postpartum period (puerperium), 87% to 94% of women report at least one health problem.<\/sup>\u00a0Long-term health problems (persisting after six months postpartum) are reported by 31% of women.<\/sup><\/p>\n

In 2016, complications of pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium\u00a0resulted globally in 230,600 deaths, down from 377,000 deaths in 1990. The most common causes of maternal mortality are\u00a0maternal bleeding,\u00a0postpartum infections\u00a0including maternal sepsis,\u00a0hypertensive diseases of pregnancy,\u00a0obstructed labor, and\u00a0pregnancy with the abortive outcome, including miscarriage<\/a>,\u00a0ectopic pregnancy<\/a>, and\u00a0elective abortion.<\/p>\n

<\/sup>There is no clear distinction between the complications of pregnancy and symptomsthe and discomforts of pregnancy. However, the latter does not significantly interfere with activities of daily living<\/a>\u00a0or pose any significant threat to the health of the mother or baby. Still, in some cases, the same basic feature can manifest as either a discomfort or a complication depending on the severity. For example, mild\u00a0nausea<\/a>\u00a0may merely be a discomfort (morning sickness<\/a>), but if severe and with vomiting causing\u00a0water-electrolyte imbalance,\u00a0it can be classified as a pregnancy complication (hyperemesis gravidarum<\/p>\n
