    Please help prevent more women losing their lives during what should be the most special time for a family. Every child deserves their mother in their life. The U.S. should not have these kinds of issues going on within the medical field, this is not the year 1900.

    difficult to understand how this could happen in our country. No safeguards for women? OB GYN community is not pulling together.

    My fried nearly died of preeclampsia, while seven months pregnant. She had excellent healthcare insurance and regular Dr. visits. She was in a coma for a week at one hospital and her premie was at a children's hospital in another town. It's inconceivable that this petition is even needed.

    As a mother of four who experienced an extremely difficult pregnancy and birth due to placenta previa, I shudder to think how close I came to losing my life. I had the very best of medical care; had I not, I and my baby may not have survived. This data collection is crucial to all the women in similar circumstances so that best practices can be established that can used across the nation to save lives. - Mira Sorvino, actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador

    I had a near death situation 7 minutes after my first son was born. The OB was impatient with the third stage of delivery and created an emergency by pulling on the cord, tearing the placenta and inverting my uterus. He performed an improtu DNC without any medication or communication as I looked at my new baby on the warming table.
