The latest annual report into the deaths of women during pregnancy and in the year after childbirth has found a significant increase in maternal deaths, with blood clots the leading cause of death in the six weeks after maternity.
The data sets, compiled by MBRRACE-UK collaboration, reveal the mortality rate for women who died during or soon after pregnancy has increased to levels not seen since 2003–2005.

The investigation, led by Oxford University’s National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit (NPEU), includes data on all women who died during pregnancy and within six weeks after giving birth in the UK between January 2020 and December 2022. It also included data on women who died within a year of giving birth. - Racheal Roberts
