Of course, maternal mortality rates in the US are among the lowest in the industrialized world, too.
Tina- this is true, unfortunately.
"According to government statistics the rate of women who die from
giving birth in the US is rising, up to 13 deaths per 100,000 live
births. Health experts say obesity, increasing use of Cesarean
sections and a new reporting system are all contributing factors. "
