Beauty and the Beast: I am 99% certain that the story about Vincent having killed his mother in childbirth was a complete fabrication made by Paracelsus posing as Father, and the correct story is that Vincent was found near St. Vincent's hospital by Paracelsus' wife.
Can somebody please get a proper citation of the contemporary frequency of perinatal maternal death? There are at least three different statistics this page for 'death by childbirth in the developed world' but they don't match each other.
