    Although I agree statistics need to be reported, I think more importantly the issue to focus on is protocol for delivery that would sustain a mother's life. Women ASK to deliver at a hospital that has this in place and ask the hospital admi istration for a copy of their policy. Only when they loose business will they consider change a d that also is a sad truth.

    As an obstetric RN, I feel every state should be mandated to report maternal deaths and that every state should have standard protocols in place based on evidence based practice for obstetric emergencies. From my experience, hospitals and doctors vary from place to place and sometimes emergencies are dealt with too late resulting in more complications for the mother. America needs to put a stop to this. How many more mothers need to die before action is taken.

    As an R.N. I found this information very disturbing. I am pleased to have stumbled across this petition in order to promote interventions that will begin to rectify these untoward circumstances.

    Needs to law. Everything needs to be done to ensure the mother's life is protected. She should be examined daily and tests ran daily to make sure she is not having any medical issues or bleeding. Furthermore, mother's need to be kept in the hospital for a week to ensure she is actually healing correctly and if not the medical issues can be caught in time and immediately taken care of.

    As a mother of two and soon to be three, I value my life and my child's, and to think I could become part of this statistic of after birth death is very disturbing. I value my life and want to be the one who cares for my child not someone else, because I live in a nation where we don't want to do the research and educate ourselves on what we she do in these incidents. Shame, and may Jesus forgive us.

    I can't believe we even have to petition for such a thing.
