The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate for a developed country: About 700 women die during childbirth or soon after every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Danisha Baughan delivered her first two children in a hospital, and said both times she felt neglected. A week before she was due to give birth to her third child, the 38-year-old said this time she was going to a birthing center.
Dr. Nicola Pemberton, the OB-GYN who runs The Birth Center of New Jersey, said Baughan's fear is not unusual. "It's a multitude of reasons, and it's a horrible statistic," said Errol Pierre, the senior vice president of New York state programs at Healthfirst, a not-for-profit health insurer.
