No words, she took what she thought was a calculated risk and paid with her life.
Obviously absolutely heartbreaking for her family, but ffs. There’s a reason we stopped birthing on piles of leaves in the woods.
Terribly sad but hopefully a lesson learned for someone else.
I hope whoever agreed to be her Doula is arrested and charged.
2 previous c-sections and she decided to have a home birth?
That seems a crazy choice.
RIP to that woman and condolences to her family.
There’s a reason childbirth without medical intervention used to kill people so regularly.
It’s almost like history has taught us that there are high death rates from giving birth without any assistance from doctors.
R.I.P anyways, terrible thing to happen
From reading the article am I right in saying the hospital were pushing for a cesarean because a natural birth was too high risk so she decided to do the high risk natural birth anyway without any medical support?
First of all, that’s nuts, second, that doula should be charged and jailed if there is any proof she in any way encouraged this women to take this risk.
This is awfully sad but a tragic case of FAFO
Childbirth is like a medically controlled car crash. Do it unsupervised at home and it’s just going to be a car crash. I’m sorry – and I know some women have bad experiences and want a less formalised setting. But in prior decades and centuries, childbirth was the leading cause of death for women. Turning your nose up at the medical profession is not safe.
Name the doula.

Mad to think that we progressed so far past the massive risk and occurrence of incidents of women dying in pregnancy that people now willingly try to avoid medical interventions at all costs.
no consideration for her baby. Difficult to have sympathy.
Idiots.
While comments here suggest otherwise, i dont blame her for wanting home birth even after section. Hospitals these days severely injure, main and kill pregnant/birthing women. They butchered me as well, went against my wishes, i still have pain from what they did to me. They lied in the reports too. Nobody cared/cares. Im not the only one either. Literally any pregnant woman, or a mother i spoke to has a traumatic story to tell related to care/birth in these “maternity hospitals”
