How horrible and devastating and heart breaking.

Very heartbreaking for all involved

I feel so deeply for this family and their loss. I just couldn’t imagine what it’s like to lose a baby.
She will never forgive herself by the sounds of things.

So sorry for this family – but what is meant to be is meant to be. Doubt the outcome would have been different no matter where the birth was.

Most home births go just fine. And if something does go wrong usually they get you to hospital in time to fix it. But I never saw the hospital as the enemy like a lot of home birth mums do. I found it very reassuring that I was right there if we needed help. Its very sad this woman feels this way.

Bless this mum ! I’m from the Netherlands, where the percentage of home births is relatively high. My mum delivered all her 5 kids at home. One of my sisters was a midwife for many years and delivered her kids at home as well. Not all home births are dangerous.

That poor family, I hope one day she can reconcile with the guilt she must be feeling. Once she knew there was a problem, I’m sure they did everything they could.
I give kudos to all the Mum who have home births, but this is why I will always go to hospital for labour. You never know what might happen, so I want the right people there to help straight away in case of an emergency

Poor woman. I’m sure she did the best she could. But home births are dangerous.

That’s heartbreaking. Poor woman. But home birth is not always dangerous. Something went terribly wrong here.

I feel so very sorry for this family. However I am not an advocate of home birth for these very reasons. You just never know when you will need medical intervention and having to wait can be too long.
