    3 women dying in childbirth in 4 years is not abnormal. It sometimes depends on the mothers health-diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity- but not always. In 2018, "President Trump has signed a bill aimed at reducing the United States' maternal mortality rate — the highest rate of all developed nations — after it passed by unanimous consent in the Senate.The bill allows the Department of Health and Human Services to give $50 million in grants over 5 years so that all states can form maternal mortality review committees to investigate every pregnancy-related or pregnancy-associated death and then target ways to prevent this. The president's signature, which came December 21, means some states would have investigational committees for the first time. Other states have already set up groups to reverse maternal mortality, and the money would boost their efforts."
