Fetus and newborn affected by maternal death - what does this mean

Fetal and newborn death due to maternal death is a rare but serious complication of pregnancy. it occurs when the mother dies during or shortly after childbirth, leaving the fetus or newborn without the necessary maternal care and support that is essential for survival. this can lead to complications such as prematurity, low birth weight, and even death in extreme cases.

What happens during the disease - fetus and newborn affected by maternal death

The pathogenesis of fetal and newborn death due to maternal death is caused by the interruption of the placenta, which is responsible for providing oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. when the mother dies, the placenta is deprived of its source of oxygen and nutrients and is unable to supply the fetus with what it needs to survive. this leads to fetal distress and death, as well as an increased risk of complications for the newborn, such as infection and developmental delays.
