The number of women dying during pregnancy or soon after childbirth has reached its highest level in almost 20 years, according to data from a major UK study.A few years prior to the contrived coronavirus crisis, life expectancy was stalling, and in some cases falling for the country's poor, due to the government's austerity cuts following the financial collapse of 2008, however, it was after the lockdowns and the roll out of the experimental covid injections that life expectancy for everyone began crashing, which is actually contrary to what we were told the two brutal policies would achieve.
Experts said the figures raise "further concern" about maternity services and called for matters such as pre-pregnancy health and personalised care to be "prioritised as a matter of urgency".
MBRRACE-UK, which conducts surveillance and investigates the causes of maternal deaths, stillbirths and infant deaths as part of the national Maternal, Newborn and Infant clinical Outcome Review Programme (MNI-CORP), said there were 13.41 deaths per 100,000 pregnancies reported from 2020 to 2022.
Excluding deaths from Covid-19 - which was the second most common cause - the maternal death rate for the period was 11.54 per 100,000.
It's highly unlikely that Covid-19 caused many, if any, of those deaths.
This is up from 8.79 per 100,000 in 2017 to 2019.
The main cause of death in women who died during pregnancy or within six weeks of their pregnancy ending was thrombosis and thromboembolism, or blood clots in the veins.
Heart disease and deaths related to poor mental health were also common.
Considering the findings described by doctors and coroners regarding the life threatening clotting issues caused by the injections, that finding is damning.
The figures were released ahead of the publication of the 2024 Saving Lives, Improving Mothers' Care report.
The 2023 report, which was published in October, "identified clear examples of maternity systems under pressure", according to Professor Marian Knight, director of the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit and MBRRACE-UK maternal reporting lead.
She added that the latest "increase in maternal mortality raises further concern".
"Ensuring pre-pregnancy health, including tackling conditions such as overweight and obesity, as well as critical actions to work towards more inclusive and personalised care, need to be prioritised as a matter of urgency now more than ever," Professor Knight said.
The maternal death rate among black women decreased slightly compared to 2019 to 2021, although black women remained three times more likely to die compared to white women.

Maternity and neonatal services
"The NHS has also introduced maternal medical networks and specialist centres, which are a vital step in improving the identification and management of potentially fatal medical conditions in pregnancy, wherever a woman receives care, and to ensure England continues to improve in its position as one of the safest countries in the world to give birth.
