“…However, these reports do not provide any definitive reasons. Many risk factors for PPH during pregnancy have been previously reported [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. There were also many reports of PPH risk during the stages of labor [1,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…It was found that, the risk of atonic uterine hemorrhage rapidly rises with rising Body Mass Index (BMI); in women with a BMI > 40, the risk was 5.2% with normal delivery and 13.6% with instrumental delivery [44].…”

Postpartum Hemorrhage is one of most common causes of maternal mortality worldwide accounting for 127,000 deaths annually. PPH is a preventable condition and early, timely intervention can prevent development of this dreadful condition. One such intervention that is highly recommended is Active Management of Third Stage of Labor. It is the only intervention known to prevent PPH. Though even with different interventions and blood transfusion facility, maternal deaths cannot be brought down to zero. Significant reduction can only be achieved by better education of women about maternal health. The main purpose of this study is to know the recent global and national prevalence of PPH, its prevention as well as management at an early stage, so as to reduce the overall burden of deaths resulting from PPH. Method:The literature regarding PPH was searched from various English language journals and published peer-reviewed articles on PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase and Google Scholar till 2015.

“…4,5 Maternal outcomes associated with obesity include higher rates of pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes, [6][7][8] prolonged labour progression, 9 higher rates of caesarean delivery, 10,11 and an increased risk for postpartum haemorrhage independent of mode of delivery in some settings. [12][13][14] Despite the increased incidence of complications during pregnancy and delivery among obese women, few studies have investigated the effect of maternal obesity on severe complications leading to profound alterations in the mother's health, that is, severe maternal morbidity (SMM). [15][16][17][18][19] These studies have utilised varying definitions of the SMM composite outcome and approaches to case ascertainment.…”

Background Maternal obesity is increasing. There is growing evidence of its effect on severe maternal morbidity. We assessed prepregnancy obesity as an independent risk factor for severe maternal morbidity by timing and cause. Methods We designed a case‐control analysis within the EPIMOMS prospective population‐based study conducted in six French regions in 2012‐2013 (182 309 women who delivered at ≥22 weeks). Cases were all women who experienced severe maternal morbidity during pregnancy to 42 days postpartum as per a multicriteria definition derived by national expert consensus (n = 2540, severe maternal morbidity prevalence 1.4%). Controls were randomly selected from the same health centres (n = 3651). The association between obesity and severe maternal morbidity was assessed from fitting multivariable logistic regression models: overall, by timing (antepartum and intrapartum/ postpartum), and by cause. Results Prepregnancy obesity was associated with overall severe maternal morbidity (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14, 1.59) and antepartum severe maternal morbidity (OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.61, 2.65), but not with intra/postpartum severe maternal morbidity (OR 1.15, 95% CI 0.96, 1.38). Among antepartum severe maternal morbidity, severe hypertensive disorders were most strongly associated with obesity (OR 2.50, 95% CI 1.85, 3.40) but the risk of antepartum severe maternal morbidity due to other causes was also increased among obese women (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.13, 2.37). Obesity was not associated with severe postpartum haemorrhage (OR 1.12, 95% CI 0.92, 1.37). Conclusion Obesity is associated with an increased risk of antepartum, but not intra/ postpartum, severe maternal morbidity.
