Why Do More Moms Die in the U. S. Than Other Rich Countries?

The U. S. has a big problem. It has more moms dying during or after pregnancy than other wealthy nations. This is not new. It has been happening for a while. But why? One big reason might be that many pregnancies in the U. S. are not planned. The U. S. has one of the highest rates of unintended pregnancies among rich countries. When pregnancies are not planned, moms might not get the right care they need. This can lead to more complications and even death.Family planning helps people decide if and when to have kids. It includes things like birth control and prenatal care. When people have access to family planning, fewer pregnancies are unplanned. This can lead to fewer moms dying. But does this work in the U. S. ? Not so much. There are not many studies in the U. S. that show family planning clearly saves moms' lives. The U. S. has a unique health and political situation. This makes it hard to know for sure. Still, family planning works in other parts of the world. It helps lower the number of moms who die during or after pregnancy. The U. S. could learn from this. But first, it needs to understand its own problems.
