Help in Translation of what the cause of death for Ingeborg Johnsen was in Winneshiek County, Iowa church records

[Clark Monson]

I am wondering if someone can help me with the translation of the cause of death for Ingeborg Johnsen.  I am attaching a photo of the entry from a Winneshiek County, Iowa church record from 1881.  She was born in Vinger, Norway but I don't understand what is written for her cause of death.  I would very much appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Far from certain, but could be døde paa Brsseng. [abb. for Barselsseng] Died in childbirth [litt. ‹Birth-bed›]

 

But, again, I might be very wrong . . .

Thank you so much, Even!  I thought it was probably death from childbirth but I couldn't understand the word.  I appreciate your help very much!  

Best Regards!

Agree with Even Stormoen.

(I usually cross-check the born/baptized and stillborn records, respectively. If you find the child, you know for sure.)
