How often does a woman die while giving birth to a baby ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Childbirth was once a leading cause of death in childbearing years for women in the late 1800's. Modern medical management has reduced risk a lot but has not eliminated it completely. That is one reason regular prenatal care is important for any pregnancy.
