Abstract
Childbearing is a normal physiological process and one that most women experience at least once in their lives—81% in 2018 ( Office for National Statistics, 2019 ). The majority will have a safe and trouble-free pregnancy, birth and postnatal period. However, a few will experience complications. Some of these arise in previously healthy women when the progress of the pregnancy deviates from normal. Other women enter pregnancy with a pre-existing medical condition that may complicate progress and require additional attention and monitoring. Maternity support workers (MSWs) are an essential part of safe care. The service they give will be enhanced by knowledge of some of the conditions that may arise. This paper provides a brief overview of some of the issues.
