Between 2010 and 2014, babies in the United States had an approximately 70% survival rate when born under weight of 500 g (1.10lb), an increase from a 30.8% survival rate between 2006 and 2010. [15] A baby's chances for survival increases 3 to 4 percentage points per day between 23 and 24 weeks of gestation, and about 2 to 3 percentage points ...

Within a year, maternal mortality rose in all racial groups studied. Among Hispanic women, the rate of women dying while pregnant, during childbirth or soon after increased from 14.5 maternal ...
The other aberration from this otherwise steady decline in teen birth rates is the 6% decrease in birth rates for 15- to 19-year-olds between 2008 and 2009. [100] Despite these years of decrease, U.S. teen birth rates are still higher than in other developed nations. [100] Racial differences prevail with teen birth and pregnancy rates as well.
In 2021, over 1,200 women died from pregnancy-related complications within the United States, with Black women facing a mortality rate nearly three times more than the rate for White women. [1] There have been significant differences between the maternal mortality of White women versus Black women throughout history.
