It's interesting they include things such as all suicides as pregnancy related death, though. If someone commits suicide 11 months after the kid is born there's no guarantees the reason was the pregnancy or the kid. It's possible but we can't really say that must be it.

  >It's interesting they include things such as all suicides as pregnancy related death, though. That's not actually the case. If you look through the original linked article for the word "suicide" you come across the following... >Pregnancy-related deaths determined by the MMRCs to be suicides... ... which, by used of the word "determined" suggests that they're not just assuming all suicides within a year of giving birth are pregnancy related. In point of fact, this is covered at the very beginning: >Maternal Mortality Review Committees (MMRCs) are multidisciplinary committees that convene at the state or local level to comprehensively review deaths during or within a year of pregnancy (pregnancy-associated deaths). MMRCs have access to clinical and non-clinical information (e.g., vital records, medical records, social service records) to more fully understand the circumstances surrounding each death, determine whether the death was pregnancy-related...

    I appreciate the clarification. It's still not clear to me to me whether the MMRC decided suicide was a pregnancy related death (as note 2 under table 4 seems to indicate). I think your interpretation was the MMRC decided which suicides were pregnancy related, whereas mine was that the MMRC decided that suicides within 1 year were pregnancy related.
