Childbirth is a universally celebrated event but for thousands of women childbirth is experienced not as joyfull event as it should be, but as a hell that may end in death. Maternal death is defined as “death of any woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management. The maternal mortality rate is defined as the number of maternal deaths per 100.000 women in the reproductive age (15-50) years while the maternal mortality ratio is the number of maternal deaths per 100.000 live births. The world health organization estimates that more than 500.000 women die each year because of conditions related to pregnancy and child birth almost 99% of these deaths take place in developing countries.
