According to the WTS, lack of professional prenatal care can lead to childbirth problems, such as:
excessive bleeding: Um, no. Lack of prenatal care does not lead to excessive bleeding. Hemorrhaging, episiotomy, excessive tearing and uterine rupture can lead to excessive bleeding.
obstructed labor: How?? The body labors. The uterus contracts. The body pushes. No need to count pushes, either.
infection: Again: How?? I don't even know where to begin with this.
anemia because of prematurity: Many people, even adults, are anemic. This doesn't mean everyone needs a transfusion. There is a non-transfusion treatment (according to About.com) for preemies with anemia:
- The hormone that causes the body to make more red blood cells is called erythropoietin. We can give a form of erythropoietin, called r-Epo, as a medication that causes the body to make red blood cells. Giving r-Epo can help reduce the number of blood transfusions that a preemie needs, but it takes time to work and is very expensive.
