   (NEWSER) – Victoria Rexach had previously had two cesarean   
   sections, and her doctor — a high-risk specialist — wanted her   
   to have another when she gave birth to her twin girls. But when   
   the 30-year-old went into premature labor on Aug. 28, before her   
   pregnancy had hit the 6-month mark, doctors at Richmond   
   University Medical Center in Staten Island proceeded with a   
   natural childbirth instead, and Rexach and both babies died two   
   minutes after the birth, NBC New York reports.   
      
   The family believes she would have survived had she been given a   
   C-section, and according to News 12, they say the hospital knew   
   she could not deliver naturally.   
      
   "She screamed, and then she was just holding my hand and then   
   her eyes closed and I kept smacking her face, telling her,   
   'Don't fall asleep on me, don't fall asleep,'" says Tafari   
   Brathwaite, the babies' father and Rexach's common-law husband.   
   "She looked at me and said 'OK' and then closed her eyes, and   
   that was the last time I saw her."   
      
   The medical examiner is still investigating and no cause of   
   death has yet been determined, but family members say Rexach   
   lost a lot of blood and suffered cardiac arrest and the   
   hospital, in a statement, calls the twins "non-viable fetuses."   
      
   Brathwaite plans to sue the hospital, the New York Post reports.   
   "She told them she couldn't push but they made her push and they   
   let her die," says an activist who is working with the family.

   In other news, another unmarried black woman and her   
   illegitimate children will not be added to the welfare roles.
