That’s really sad. I’m surprised they went ahead with a home birth when there was a known issue with the placenta.
It’s terrible and I can’t imagine how the father feels.
I don’t think I’d ever suggest to anyone to do a home birth. Literally anything can happen during birth no matter what age or how healthy you are or how perfect the pregnancy has been anything can happen.
I find it mad that the HSE provides a home birth service, surely the risk of a birth (for both the mother and also the baby) would warrant them being done in a hospital at all times.
People have forgotten how lethal births can be thanks to hospitals and modern medicine. Best to keep doing them in hospitals where if there is a real emergency you have proper doctors and surgeons ready to take over.
So was a PPH the cause of death?
‘haunted’ to me, in slang terms (if that’s how they’re talking, I didn’t read the article, don’t want to) is either a good/lucky thing, or bad thing, depending how you say it.
So this headline is hysterical to me.
A truly tragic event for the husband and family – I wonder was she a good distance from the local hospital? Either way it’s best to wait for the official findings before speculating on what happened.
It’s understandable that this news would cause anxiety for others planning a home birth. While our own experience was incredibly positive and well-supported by brilliant midwives, it doesn’t take away from how devastating this particular news is for the community.
Seeing how bad a birth can go first hand, you’d need to be in a hospital to have the best chance. In my opinion these home births are sold like a magical dream, but you’re going to something akin to major surgery.
You would have to wonder why a woman with a placenta issue would be allowed to have a home birth. Also, what other things did this midwife allow or give in to that weren’t normal HSE procedure? It’s terrible that she passed away; what a tragedy. Hopefully, new protocols will be put in place to ensure better safety.
Nobody else will say it but I think it’s best if people did. Ideally before the fact. Before people die.
Particularly after being warned about an issue with the placenta it strikes me there is ego involved in not accepting you are not completely and truly exceptional and the possibility exists you will require medical treatment giving birth.
Like the possibility doesn’t exist for you? Seriously?
And even you can’t grasp the fact you are not immortal would you not put the baby first and do what’s best for them.
This was completely avoidable. Can’t believe they went ahead after being warned. Then that’s exactly what happened.
Was expecting to read she was “assisted” and advised by a Doula or someone else equally unqualified but that a registered midwife thought it was an acceptable risk is mine boggling. Not sure what the exact placenta issue was but it’s an organ capable of pumping more than a unit of blood every minute.
I presume the midwives will face an NMBI Fitness to Practice enquiry (if they haven’t already) and whether they think they should be allowed to continue their practice, particularly in the community. It’ll be interesting to hear the second midwives testimony.
Awful tragedy for the family and one that is pretty obvious could and should have been avoided.
Brother in laws sister, is in the process of losing a child last few stages of childbirth while in hospital the cord got wrapped around their neck and suffered serious brain damage. It can’t breathe on its own no response to light etc.. body is slowly shutting down all there is, palliative care. It’s been 3 weeks of a slow death and awaiting a call to know she’s gone. I’ll never not insist on a hospital birth with every cutting edge medical advantage we have at hand.
Is this one of those Free Birth lunatics ?
Tragic, and moreso because it was stupidly avoidable
