What is 'Poor Pregnancy Outcome'?
Poor pregnancy outcome refers to a situation where the outcome of a pregnancy is not favorable and may pose risks or complications for the mother, the fetus, or both. This term encompasses a range of possible outcomes, and it can be influenced by various factors, including maternal health, prenatal care, genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Poor pregnancy outcomes may include:
1. Preterm Birth: Delivery before 37 weeks of gestation.
2. Miscarriage: Loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week.
3. Low Birth Weight: Birth weight below 2,500 grams.
4. Stillbirth: The loss of a baby before or during delivery after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
5. Congenital Anomalies: Structural or functional abnormalities present at birth.
6. Maternal Complications: Health issues or complications that arise during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or maternal infections.
Several factors can contribute to poor pregnancy outcomes, including inadequate prenatal care, maternal age, multiple pregnancies (such as twins or triplets), maternal health conditions, substance abuse, and socioeconomic factors.
Why Do We Call Ourselves A 'Haven'?
"A haven" refers to a place or state of safety, refuge, or sanctuary. Our tagline, "A Haven for Families After Poor Pregnancy Outcomes," reflects our commitment to providing a safe and supportive space for families facing challenges related to pregnancy outcomes. In this context, "haven" embodies a sense of comfort, protection, and solace. It signifies our organization as a caring and nurturing environment, where families can find understanding, empathy, and valuable resources as they navigate through the aftermath of poor pregnancy outcomes.

We arrived at the party and exchanged greetings. Shortly after, I went to the bathroom and was shocked to see blood.
