Giving birth is more dangerous than nearly every job in America, with a maternal mortality rate of 32.9 out of every 100,000, surpassing occupations like truck driving.
A police officer's partner is at greater risk when pregnant than the officer themselves, since the police mortality rate is only 19.53 per 100,000.
Active duty soldiers have a significantly lower risk compared to pregnant partners, with a mortality rate of only 1.3 per 100,000, making birth extremely risky.
Despite these alarming statistics surrounding maternal mortality, society overlooks the dangers of childbirth, and discourse should elevate women's voices, acknowledging pregnancy as a serious health risk.
