Women's Heart Health

My paternal grandfather was the youngest of nine children, and he never knew his mother because she died giving birth to him.It was a difficult pregnancy for her.

He was raised by his sisters and older brothers in a well to do family in the nation of Colombia.

We never knew what she had caused death.Could died of a heart attack, for example?

I am not an expert on women's health but I have some experience on this subject that might be useful. I have 3 children and with the last delivery I had a problem with the placenta rupture during labor. The delivery was a success, but then my blood pressure dropped so low that there was a reading of zero for the number of substance. They had to give me medicine coagulation, because my uterus does not contract itself and I would not stop the bleeding. I had to have several pints of blood and is very close to death. It was not so long ago, and drugs were available to stop the blood loss. Years ago women who had died during my state or just after childbirth. My doctor also told me later that I could have had a stroke or blood clots in the heart, lungs or brain. It is a possibility that what happened to the mother of your grandfather. Hypertension is also a major cause of maternal death. It seems that in this era of women dying during childbirth was just accepted as something that happened then maybe they never took the time to find the exact cause.

The main causes of maternal death are bacterial infection, variants of gestational hypertension, including pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome, obstetrical hemorrhage, ectopic pregnancy, puerperal sepsis, amniotic embolism, and complications abortions. Less known, the causes of maternal death are renal failure, heart failure, and uncontrollable vomiting.

As stated by WHO in 2005 the report "Make every mother and child", they are: severe bleeding / hemorrhage (25%), infections (13%), unsafe abortions (13%), the eclampsia (12%), dystocia (8%), other direct causes (8%), and indirect causes (20%). The indirect causes such as malaria, anemia, HIV / AIDS and cardiovascular disease, complicate or are aggravated by it.

serious malfunctions can be caused by birth complications. However, health problems more serious causing death are those related to loss of blood. Here is my source: http://www.myhealth-forum.com/
