The objective of the study was to examine the association between severe maternal morbidity (SMM) in a first birth and the probability of a subsequent birth. The findings suggest that women who experience SMM in their first birth are less likely to have a subsequent birth. Adequate reproductive counseling and enhancing antenatal care are crucial for women with a history of SMM.
