I previously wrote about a 22-year old woman who died during childbirth at a local hospital about a month ago. The responses I got from you kind ladies was that it's a RARE happening, and that there may have been an underlying condition we didn't know about. Well, another article in the local paper was printed a couple of days ago, and it was about the widow and his son. It mentioned the mother had an amniotic fluid embolism which stopped oxygen from reaching her lungs. This all happened within a few moments before birth, and an emergency C-section had to be done. I don't even know what could, or could not have been done, to save her, as I've never heard of this before. Does anybody know anything about this? Is it caused by an underlying condition, like hypertension?

My understanding is that this type of complication would not be due to any underlying condition. It's extremely rare, but it's what can happen if air is b__wn up into the v____a during oral s_x. That's why pregnant women are told NOT to do this. That's the only reference to this in pregnancy I've seen, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. There's enough to worry about in pregnancy! ~ Marivic, 24w3d
