“Pregnancy is a very delicate time for a woman .A women need to be very careful during the pregnancy time” Maternal health refers to the health of women before and during pregnancy, at childbirth and during the postpartum period
There where lot of women who lost their life during her pregnancy time . Health facility in your country is not that much good for the women . There is not so much health care facility in the village area due to which , during normal delivery, a woman has to suffer a lot of pain, that pain becomes so unbearable. Many women lose their lives or sometimes even the baby dies. There are not many good doctors in the area of the village, due to which if the pregnant lady ever has a problem at the time of pregnancy, like if the child stops growing in the uterus, it is not even known.
The time of pregnancy and even in post pregnancy time if women need lot of care , support and good environment is good for her as well as her baby’s health . She should have a right amount of food, she need a regular check-up , proper medicine , rest and evening walk- these are the two necessary things which women need to care during her pregnancy but it’s not her sole responsibility the family member and the man should take care of all this thing should take the woman to the hospital for the check-up , the right amount of food vegetables and fruits and milk at night. Everyone has a dream to become a parent, but not all of them has the ability to become a parent. Ability here means whether you are able to handle the child or not. Like poor people do family planning but do not have that much of earning to feed the women during the pregnancy and take care of the child after he came to this work due to which many of the woman and the unborn child has lost their life. As government hospital does not have that much of good facilities and if women face any critical situation during her pregnancy which can be treated on a private hospital the poor family cannot afford that.
There is not a proper health care facility on hospital , and this is not the problem of India only many country faces this problem pregnant lady with very different type of medicine and very delicate medicine . During the delivery time many women lost their baby on her womb.
There are many way’s to improve Maternal Health:-
1- More fund for women health care.
2- Awareness about health care facility available.
3- Building more and more hospital , especially in remote areas .
4- Protect poor women from ill health and unaffordable costs and treatment .
5- Motivate young people to delay pregnancy and achieve higher levels of education .
At present there is 45% drop in maternal mortality since 1990. ½ of women in developing regions receive recommended health care during pregnancy.
So, all need to take care of the women during her pregnancy time weather we know her or not . She is pregnant and she need care , facility , medicine .
