I have no idea about your condition of health right now. If you are a regular healthy woman with no complications then the chance is highly unlikely.
However, your doctor will talk to you about this if you have any medical conditions.
Remember, there is nothig to fear but fear itself!

In america, almost nothing. Its more common to die of comlications after birth and even more so after c-section. But generally its 1 in every 5000 births. Almost none of those are from regular vaginal delivery.
Thats about the same amount of risk as being shot, or dying in a plane crash, or having a bicycling accident. You can look it up yourself. You're about twice as likely to accidentally drown.
most are from women who dont deliver in the hospital, dont go to their prenatal appointments, or need a c-section.
You'll THINK you're dying during birth, but you wont.

Unless your doctor has warned you that getting pregnant will be dangerous for you, you shouldn't worry. Giving birth is the easy part. It;s the contractions that hurt like hell. Everyone is scared of the birth part but it really is true when they say the moment you see you beautiful baby you forget it all. It's just one day in your life and you get in return an amazing little person who you are gonna love more than anything else.

If you and your baby are healthy and go to a hospital or birthing clinic to give birth the chances are very slim. If your chose a home delivery be sure to have your Dr and hospital on stand by in case of complications.

you know before I had my first son I thought I would die during labor after watching steel magnolias I was totally irrational but since I was so small and didnt weigh much nobody could convince me diffrent but of course I didnt die and I went on to have three more kids after that. So my point I guess is your chances of dying are pretty slim.

Very little chance depending on how good your doctor and the hospital in which you will deliver is. Just make sure you have your checkups like you are supposed to during your pregnancy.
The larger hospitals are more up to date. But I had my last child in a small hospital and we did alright.
Things happen during giving birth, but not like they used to.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Talk to your doctor about your concerns, hopefully he can put you at ease.
Good Luck and God bless.

As long as you are in good health, it's very unusual for a woman to die in childbirth. I would reccomend birthing in a hospital versus home if you are concerned.

Today, there are hardly any women that die during delivery. Medical technology is so advanced. Your chances are slim to none. Ease your mind, and congratulations!

The risks would depend on how healthy you are BEFORE you give brth.
