Sad story
A woman who lives just outside of my town recently had a home birth and lost
her baby. I feel so sad for her but unfortunately she made some really bad decisions. She had a c-section with her first pregnancy and her Doc informed her that this second baby was breech. For some reason she was absolutely determined to have a natural home birth no matter what. She apparently called every midwife in town to see if they would under the circumstances take her on as a patient. She was turned down by all the registered midwifes. She ended up choosing a "midwife" who turned out to not even be a midwife at all, she was not registered in our province. Sadly the baby had major complications during delivery and passed away. How sad. |

How sad. Sad and so unnecessary. Unfortunately, it's these types of stories that people remember and think of when they hear the words homebirth and midwife. JennP. |

This is a terrible story. And I agree with Jenn: everybody will remember
only this about midwives. On an egotistic note, I already tremble at my mother's reaction: she's bound to find out, as I'm sure this will make the news soon enough (I'm from your province). BTW, in what town did this happen? "Plissken" wrote in message news:RV5Hc.979762$Pk3.468226@pd7tw1no... A woman who lives just outside of my town recently had a home birth and lost her baby.

There is such good care available, this didn't need to happen. It happens in hospitals too-none of the women in my pregnancy/infant loss group had a home birth. Now, in some cases, like mine, complications were evident before delivery, and therefore a hospital birth was indicated (but still couldn't save the baby)-in others, everything was completely fine to outer appearance, but something happened during labor/delivery itself-with no good reason why. Unless a woman has had previous pregnancy complications or has pre-existing health issues, there's no reason to expect problems. -- -- I mommy to DS (July '02) mommy to three tiny angels (28 Oct'03, 17 Feb'04 & 20 May'04) guardian of DH (33) |
