Can you help me find a website that has great statistical information regarding health conditions during pregnancy?

I can find stats on deaths (God Forbid) but not a nice neat set of statistical information that gives the frequency of other health conditions secondary to pregnancy. Like how many women while pregnant develop diabetes, incontinence, cardiac problems, etc.

Any information or links will be greatly appreciated.

Can you view this study?

“Severe maternal morbidity during pregnancy, delivery and puerperium in the Netherlands: a nationwide population-based study of 371 000 pregnancies”

@Tropical_Willie @Cupcake I appreciate your efforts. I still don’t see stats that relate to common difficulties that women have in pregnancy. Did I miss it? Like the top ten would be great, but doesn’t have to be limited to that. Very few women die from childirth in the US and western countries in general. But, many many women get incontinent, become anemic, diabetic, even get hemorrhoids, etc. It’s those that I am interested in. The highly likely conditions women experience because they went through a pregnancy. Can be during or as a result of having been pregnant.

Okay, here’s a Top Ten but not statistical.
