Pregnancy and childbirth are amongst the commonest things in our lives. These are as common and natural as activities like having food or breathing.

Yet, when any of our near and dear ones are expecting, most of the time we get rather tense.

There are valid reasons for such a behavior on our part as well. There are statistics that say that about more than 5 lakh women worldwide die due to complexities and abnormalities that arise out of pregnancy per year.

So, it is quite natural that we opt for extra precautionary measures to secure the condition of pregnancy and delivery of a baby. Quite naturally baby delivery in India too is given a lot of seriousness. There are a few issues that form the commonest causes for maternal death.
