Somewhat rare: Life on Earth has nothing that is 100% safe. So, we are all born, we live a while, and we die... that's life. Don't sweat the small stuff, as they say, or life becomes rather neurotic. In the US, about 1 in 6000 women die while having a baby. Annually, about 1 in 17000 women die in a car accident. That means if you have a baby every 3 years, maternal mortality is similar to automobile mortality.
