What are some possible ways to lower the maternal mortality rate in underdeveloped nations?

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Community development funds could be directed toward improving prenatal care for new mothers. Training midwives and providing doctors would enable mothers to receive help in basic childbearing techniques that could improve these rates. Communities also could work to reduce the number of pregnancies through family planning, enabling mothers to be more prepared for pregnancy. Finally, communities could take steps to improve nutrition for new mothers.
