​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Complications of pregnancy are health problems that are related to pregnancy. Complications that occur primarily during childbirth are termed obstetric labor complications, and problems that occur primarily after childbirth are termed puerperal disorders. Severe complications of pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium are present in 1.6% of mothers.

In the immediate postpartum period (puerperium), 87% to 94% of women report at least one health problem.Long-term health problems (persisting after six months postpartum) are reported by 31% of women.
