Abstract
As obstetricians, we aim to provide care for our patients which improves outcomes for mothers, babies and the community as a whole. We know though that maternal morbidity, adverse outcomes and even mortality for mother and baby are sadly an all too frequent occurrence. Severe maternal morbidity is a much more common outcome than maternal mortality, and risk factors for severe maternal morbidity are increasing among those we see in antenatal clinics everyday.
