Than in Bosnia, Kuwait: Report - NBC Bay Area Posted: 03 Feb 2010 02:26 PM PST Message from fivefilters.org: If you can, please donate to the full-text RSS service so we can continue developing it. A new report highlights a rise in pregnancy-related deaths in California. Based on the state's maternal mortality rate, it is actually more dangerous to give birth in California than it is in Kuwait or Bosnia, according to California Watch. "The issue is how rapidly this rate has worsened. That's what's shocking," said Debra Bingham, who serves on a task force investigating the problem. Over the last decade, the maternal mortality rate in California has nearly tripled. The national rate in 2006 was 13.3 per 100,000 (see chart right for state numbers).
Out of the about 500,000 live births in California in 2006, 95 women died from causes directly related to their pregnancies, according to the report. According to estimates, less than 30 percent of the increase is attributable to better reporting on death certificates, California Watch reported. The official report from the state has yet to be released. "There was no effort to hold that report back. It just needed some more revisions," said Al Lundeen of the California Department of Public Health.

SHELTON, Connecticut (AP) — A woman hid from her boyfriend and family members that she was carrying triplets, then bled to death while delivering the full-term but stillborn babies in her home, officials said Wednesday. Shelton police Detective Ben Trabka said he believes 26-year-old Victoria Hope denied being pregnant and instead gave medical reasons "why she had put on weight." Hope did not disclose her pregnancy to anyone police spoke to, including her boyfriend — the father of her children — Trabka said. The father suspected she was pregnant, but she denied it, and police do not know why she hid her condition. It wasn't clear whether the woman knew she was carrying triplets before giving birth Tuesday. Her father, William Hope, acknowledged Wednesday that his daughter was "big" and said he doesn't know why she hid her pregnancy. "That's going to be the question we'll never have an answer for," he said. The cause of the woman's death was loss of blood during unattended childbirth, the chief medical examiner's office said Wednesday. The woman's mother found her daughter and the triplets and called police, authorities said. The woman and babies were dead when police arrived. Frances Hope, who with her husband lived with their daughter and her family, said she suspected her daughter was pregnant but did not know for sure. She said she did not know how far along her daughter was in her pregnancy. Foul play is not suspected, Trabka said. Victoria Hope and her boyfriend also have a 6-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter, who was at home in a crib when the woman died, he said. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

SHELTON, Conn. (AP) - A woman hid from her boyfriend and family members that she was carrying triplets, then bled to death while delivering the full-term but stillborn babies in her home, officials said Wednesday. Shelton police Detective Ben Trabka said he believes 26-year-old Victoria Hope denied being pregnant and instead gave medical reasons "why she had put on weight." Hope did not disclose her pregnancy to anyone police spoke to, including her boyfriend _ the father of her children _ Trabka said. The father suspected she was pregnant, but she denied it, and police do not know why she hid her condition. It wasn't clear whether the woman knew she was carrying triplets before giving birth Tuesday. Her father, William Hope, acknowledged Wednesday that his daughter was "big" and said he doesn't know why she hid her pregnancy. "That's going to be the question we'll never have an answer for," he said. The cause of the woman's death was loss of blood during unattended childbirth, the chief medical examiner's office said Wednesday. The woman's mother found her daughter and the triplets and called police, authorities said. The woman and babies were dead when police arrived; police said it appeared the triplets were carried to full term. Frances Hope, who with her husband lived with their daughter and her family, said she suspected her daughter was pregnant but did not know for sure. She said she did not know how far along her daughter was in her pregnancy. Foul play is not suspected, Trabka said. Victoria Hope and her boyfriend also have a 6-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter, who was at home in a crib when the woman died, he said. "It's sad," Trabka said. It's a real tragedy." ___ Associated Press writer Stephen Singer in Hartford, Conn., contributed to this report. (Copyright 2010 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
