How many women die while giving birth?

Patient's question:

I am a woman, 31 years old this year. I have been thinking about having a child recently. Could you please tell me: What is the mortality rate for women giving birth?

Doctor's answer:

Having a child is not necessarily life-threatening, but the risk factor is relatively higher compared to giving birth at a younger age. It is recommended to undergo thorough check-ups before conception and to consistently follow prenatal examinations during the pregnancy. Any issues should be addressed promptly. It is advisable to choose a reputable public hospital for childbirth. Of course, there is no need to worry excessively. If you do not have any underlying health conditions, the risk is not particularly high.
