Ukunakekelwa kwezempilo eMelika kungahle kuthuthuke (futhi kubize), kepha kusenendawo yokwenza ngcono-ikakhulukazi uma kukhulunywa ngokukhulelwa nokubeletha. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi abesifazane baseMelika babulawa yizinkinga ezihlobene nokukhulelwa minyaka yonke, kepha ukufa kwabo okuningi kungavikeleka, ngokusho kombiko omusha we-CDC.

I-CDC isungule ngaphambilini ukuthi babalelwa ku-700 abesifazane abafa e-U.S. Minyaka yonke kusuka ezindabeni ezihlobene nokukhulelwa. Umbiko omusha walesi sikhungo wehlisa amaphesenti okufa okwenzeka ngesikhathi nangemva kokukhulelwa kusukela ngo-2011–2015, kanye nokuthi bangaki labo bantu abafa ababengavinjelwa. Ngaleso sikhathi, abesifazane abayi-1,443 bashona ngesikhathi bekhulelwe noma ngosuku lokubeletha, futhi abesifazane abayi-1,547 bashona ngemuva kwalokho, kwaze kwaba unyaka owodwa ngemuva kokubeletha, ngokusho kombiko.

Okubi nakakhulu, abathathu kwabahlanu kwabashonile bebengagwemeka, ngokusho kombiko. Ngesikhathi sokubeletha, iningi lokufa lalibangelwa ukopha noma i-amniotic fluid embolism (lapho i-amniotic fluid ingena emaphashini). Ezinsukwini eziyisithupha zokuqala zokubeletha, izimbangela eziphambili zokufa zazihlanganisa ukopha, ukuphazamiseka kokukhulelwa kwe-hypertension (njenge-preeclampsia), kanye nokutheleleka. Kusukela emasontweni ayisithupha kuya onyakeni owodwa, iningi lokushona kubangelwe yi-cardiomyopathy (uhlobo lwesifo senhliziyo).

Embikweni wayo, i-CDC iphinde yafaka inani ekuhlukaneni ngokobuhlanga emazingeni okufa komama. Izinga lokushona elihlobene nokukhulelwa kwabesifazane abamnyama nabamaMelika baseNdiya / base-Alaska baseMelika lalingama-3.3 no-2.5 ​​izikhathi, ngokulandelana, izinga lokufa kwabesifazane abamhlophe. Lokho kuhambisana nengxoxo yamanje mayelana nezibalo ezikhombisa ukuthi abesifazane abamnyama bathinteka ngendlela engafanele ngenxa yokukhulelwa kanye nezinkinga zokubeletha.

Akusikho okokuqala umbiko ukhombisa amazinga amangalisayo wokushona komama e-US Okokuqala, i-US iklelise endaweni yokuqala ezingeni eliphakeme kakhulu lokufa komama kuzo zonke izizwe ezithuthukile, ngokusho kuka-2015 we-State of the World's Mothers, a umbiko ohlanganiswe yi-Save the Children.

Muva nje, ucwaningo olushicilelwe ku- I-Obstetrics & Gynecology ibike ukuthi izinga lokushona komama ezifundazweni ezingu-48 naseWashington D.C. liyakhula, likhula ngamaphesenti angaba ngu-27 phakathi kuka-2000 no-2014. Uma kuqhathaniswa, amazwe angu-166 kwangu-183 okwaxoxwa nawo abonise amanani ehla. Ucwaningo ludonse ukunakekela okukhulu ekukhuleni kwezinga lokushona komama e-U.S, ikakhulukazi eTexas, lapho inani lamacala liphindwe kabili phakathi kuka-2010 no-2014 kuphela. Kodwa-ke, ngonyaka owedlule uMnyango Wezempilo kaHulumeni waseTexas wanikeza isibuyekezo, wathi inani langempela lokufa lalingaphansi kwesigamu salokho okwabikwa ngenxa yokubhaliswa ngokungekho emthethweni kuhulumeni. Embikweni wayo wakamuva, iCDC iveze ukuthi amaphutha ekubikeni isimo sokukhulelwa ezitifiketini zokushona kungenzeka ukuthi athinte izinombolo zawo.

Lokhu kuhlanganisa iqiniso eliqinisekisiwe manje lokuthi ukufa okuhlobene nokukhulelwa kuyinkinga enkulu e-U.S. I-CDC inikeze izixazululo ezingase zibe khona zokuvimbela ukufa okuzayo, njengokumisa indlela izibhedlela ezibhekana ngayo nezimo eziphuthumayo ezihlobene nokukhulelwa kanye nokukhuphula ukunakekelwa kokulandelela. Sethemba ukuthi umbiko wayo olandelayo udweba isithombe esihlukile.
