Childbirth deaths for Black women in america is outrageous. Usually they try to blame this on obesity but the lady was a Olmpian so her health was closely monitored.

Maaan my good friend almost lost her daughter during labor if it wasn't for a black female nurse. They had to snatch the baby out with an emergency c section. If it had been 3 more hrs she would've died. That literally terrified me. I can't do it, to lose the woman I love via something she didn't have to do is crazy.

R.I.P to chére and may Maman and Baron unite her with those she hasn't seen and those she never knew...this is heartbreaking man.

Sky high? Compared to white women the rate is double yes. But the percentage of black women who die at childbirth is 0.000699%. Not sure that's a good reason for you and your wife not to have a kid.

Always a breh who jumps all the way out the window in these threads.

First breh in the Everwood dad dies thread says that 70 is too old to be on a motorcycle.

Now this breh is saying that black women shouldn't have children cause they will die.

It's other things. Imma fertility artist and talking to alot of pregnant women and listening to their ailments from pregnancy has took its toll on me. I still find it beautiful to experience but I'm not dead set on doing it at all. If my wife wants a baby she gon have to understand she ain't getting one from me. From them loathing their bodies to post partum depression and to breastfeeding...I heard and seen the horror stories.
