Our (now healthy, five year old) son was definitely killing his mother from the womb; her liver was about to shut down due to HELLP syndrome when we did an induction. 50 years earlier and she and my child would be dead. This does actually kill people today: https://www.propublica.org/article/die-in-childbirth-maternal-death-rate-health-care-system https://www.propublica.org/article/die-in-childbirth-materna... is an account of a neonatal ICU nurse who died from HELLP five years before my wife's doctor caught it. Childbirth can be really scary and dangerous.
- jimkleiber 4y agoI feel grateful you shared that story to talk of the dangers of pregnancy and also really really grateful that the medical field is improving with dealing with that condition and that both your son and his mother survived.
