A) Earlier prenatal care
B) Gestational hypertension
C) Increased vaginal deliveries
D) Treatment for chronic diseases

Feedback:
This increasing rate in maternal mortality is associated with more cesarean births, more gestational hypertension related to preexisting hypertensive disorders, and lack of health insurance for many Americans. This increase is not because of earlier prenatal care, increased vaginal deliveries, or treatment for chronic diseases.
