    It's unacceptable that this is not already withing the standard model of care. We need evidence based medicine NOW!

    Childbirth is treated in the U.S. as a medical event rather than a natural occurrence. Intervention many times causes more harm than good.

    The maternal mortality is higher in the US then reported due to the underreporting of maternal deaths, due to NON mandated reporting of whether the mother is pregnant at the time of death. This mandatory box on the death certificate MUST be instituted in ALL states in the US and Complete and Through investigation of ALL maternal deaths MUST be done in all states. THis MUST be done NOW. MY DAUGHTER'S UNNECESSARY DEATH DUE TO INTERVENTIONS IN LABOR WILL NOT BE IN VAIN.

    As a family physician who has attended births for over 20 years, the issue of maternal mortality is very important to me. We cannot even plan how to address this issue until we define it.

    My healthy 26 year daughter passed away a few hours after giving birth. No mention of this on death certificate.
