“the expectant mother had a strong wish to avoid the “cascade” of “excessive” medical interventions, invasive medical tests and a C-section birth”.
It’s almost as if those things exist specifically to prevent events such as this from happening.
Also the very first line in the husband’s announcement of her death is “go fund me link in bio”. This whole thing is sickening.
By trying to avoid what she feared, she made it happen a whole lot worse than she could imagine.
They all trust the hospital system in the end.
That poor baby.
What a horrible situation. I hope her friends, network or community see this and learn from it. They probably won’t though.
I am sure I would have been a very difficult birth without considering c section (my head was too big for my mom’s size).
Modern procedures do exist for a reason.
They may or may not have known that 1% of mothers died in childbirth before modern medicine but they really thought they could beat the odds
Free birth is another of these social media trends stemming from antivax propaganda. Hopefully this case makes others think more deeply about where they get their medical advice from and go to actual doctors.
Doctors are human and birth trauma is real, but sometimes a particular form of trauma may be better than these catastrophic outcomes.
A wellness influencer not having a clue what they’re talking about? Colour me shocked.
I read things like this and think if women had more choice in the public system, this wouldn’t happen as much. (Obviously there will still be people out there doing it) Why do in most cases you need to be on good private health insurance to choose to have a c-section? Why isn’t there greater choice in doctors? It’s the time in a woman’s life where she feels like she’s loosing less and less control and our system tells her there is only one way and too bad too sad.
Obviously this woman made terrible choices but let’s not pretend our system is helping the situation at all
My wife and I did a calm birth class at the behest of her mother but it turned out to be this anti-hospital midwife shilling her own homebirthing business (the other 4 couples in the class were all using her home birth services already).
This woman was fear mongering the absolute to the group about how bad hospitals are and showing pictures of hospitals from the 1920’s, and trying to say that hospital widwives will take your baby away immediately etc. etc.
My wife and I stayed with our plan to go public hospital for the birth, and glad we did as we had some minor complications that required the doctors, that the homebirth midwife wouldn’t have been able to provide.
Anyway, point of the story is that these young women are being pushed in the direction of homebirth and away from hospitals. Hospitals, in my opinion, are the best place when you’re having a baby and it is silly to think otherwise. Again, that’s my opinion!
It’s tragic a young girl is dead and a boy is without his mother. The online wellness cult needs a kick up the ass for promoting stuff like this.
Somebody I know who has undergone metamorphosis into a digital kook was telling his followers that the sun couldn’t be bad for you because we couldn’t live without it. Have you ever heard of drowning?
Welcome to the harm of the internet. Antivax parents, parents insisting on at home births with no proper protections. I’ve seen people be skeptical of statins (medications for high cholesterol) because they’re adamant they cause dementia.
Misinformation on the internet is fucked.
Some people’s greatest contribution to society is to serve as a warning to others.
