der is the number one cause of death among preg-
nant women. 
(3) 
Research 
suggests 
that 
injury-related 
deaths, including homicide and suicide, account for 
approximately one-third of all maternal mortality 
cases, while medical reasons make up the rest. 
Homicide is the leading cause of death overall for 
pregnant women, followed by cancer, acute and 
chronic respiratory conditions, motor vehicle colli-
sions 
and 
drug 
overdose, 
peripartum 
and 
postpartum cardiomyopthy, and suicide.
