I know that it is possible to die during childbirth, but I never knew why or what causes this. I know that there is more than one reason. Please shed some light on this topic. I'm a mother of 2 but never had any complications.Send links if possible.

Dying during child birth is rare with today's modern technology. Of course nothing in life is guaranteed so sometimes it does happen. Causes can be from toxemia - the high blood pressure can lead to seizures and/or stoke. Another cause is excessive bleeding including when the placenta prematurly separates (can be dangerous for mother and baby). If a c-section is needed there is a risk with this as it is classes as "major surgery" particularly when a general anisthetic is required in an emergancy situation.

In addition to uterine rupture, prolonged labor (especially if the baby is in a breech position) can cause stroke, heart arrhythmia and death to the mother. Hence the continued heart monitoring of both mother and baby in a hospital setting. Although dying during childbirth is rare, it can and does happen even with excellent medical care.

Many things can happen during childbirth since it so strenuous on a woman's body. Bleeding to death for one...some women have had strokes or heart attacks during birth (from toxemia and other conditions).

Abruptio placentae-when the placenta detaches from the uterine wall can cause excessive bleeding. also there is uterine rupture.
