Kira’s case isn’t unique. Pregnancy-related deaths are increasing in the United States more than in another other country in the developed world.

In 2015, the Global Burden of Disease Study revealed that for every 100,000 births there are 26 mothers who die in the U.S. In comparison, the death count is nine in the United Kingdom, seven in Canada, and four in Italy, Sweden and Denmark.

At least 700 women die in the U.S. every year from pregnancy-related causes, according to a report from the Nine Maternal Mortality Review Committee. These deaths occur during pregnancy, during childbirth or up to a year after delivery. More than half of all deaths have been deemed preventable by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
