Abstract
The inevitability of death means that successful
procreation is the major key to the survival of any
species of living organism. Underlying fulfilment
of the simple commandment to humankind "to multiply
and fill the earth" are very complex and elaborate processes that begin with germ cell production
and end with the successful birth of a child who
survives the neonatal period and grows to adulthood
to reproduce his/her kind. Equally important
in this regard is the survival of the mother in the
process of childbirth. Several factors, some modifiable
others not, interplay to affect the success of the
processes involved in procreation. These factors
behave like "time-bombs" programmed to go off at
an "appointed time" to cause fetal and/or maternal
loss or impair successful fetal development.
