  • The death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management (correct)
  • The death of a woman while pregnant or within 30 days of termination of pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management

    • What is the difference between direct and indirect maternal death?
