I read she was only 36. This is the article that I found on her. <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2094348/Caroline-Lovell-Home-birth-advocate-dies-delivering-baby-daughter-home.html?ITO=google_news_rss_feed" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2094348/Caroline-Lovell-Home-birth-advocate-dies-delivering-baby-daughter-home.html?ITO=google_news_rss_feed</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-advocate-dies-during-home-birth#post-65699 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:25:04 +0000 shinystraps 65699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very sad story.</p> <p>For the record, one of my friends lost her mother in a very similar incident. She delivered in the hospital. </p> <p>Stories like these make me wish there were a foolproof way of giving birth that could guarantee everyone comes out alive and well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-advocate-dies-during-home-birth#post-65693 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:22:47 +0000 yoursilverlining 65693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How sad for her family! :( I respect a woman’s right to give birth where she feels most comfortable, but IMO I think a lot of women forget how dangerous birthing has always been and continues to be, for both mother and baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-advocate-dies-during-home-birth#post-65688 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:19:58 +0000 Crisark 65688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It says she suffered cardiac arrest during birth and then passed away the next day at the hospital.<br /> I think it's incredibly sad but I also believe that it may have been a different turn out had she delivered in a hospital.<br /> I'm not a big supporter of home births. But, that's just my opinion.<br /> No matter what, the story is awful and I pray for her family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-advocate-dies-during-home-birth#post-65660 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:42:10 +0000 Mrsbells 65660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she actually died at the hospital the day after the home birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-advocate-dies-during-home-birth#post-65651 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:22:59 +0000 plantains 65651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is just so awful and tragic. Thigs can and do go wrong both at home and in the hospital. I would personally never choose a homebirth, but if I did I would need to know for sure that the hospital was 5 minutes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-advocate-dies-during-home-birth#post-65600 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:52:55 +0000 prettylizy 65600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Artbee, things can go wrong wherever you are, and it's always tragic to hear about a mother passing during birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-advocate-dies-during-home-birth#post-65572 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:20:37 +0000 heffalump 65572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How awful. I feel like things can go wrong in the hospital setting too, there's no winning anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-advocate-dies-during-home-birth#post-65533 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:37:40 +0000 chopsuey 65533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tragic. I've considered home birth, but was really happy with my hospital experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-advocate-dies-during-home-birth#post-65516 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:56:25 +0000 meredithNYC 65516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is really scary. I definitely respect a woman's right to a home birth, but I know personally I would be way too frightened to go that route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-advocate-dies-during-home-birth#post-65490 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:30:42 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 65490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought this was a relatively even-handed article, spurred by news of the death of a home birth advocate. I'm so sad for her family!</p> <p><a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/home-births-rise-safe-205400504.html" rel="nofollow">http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/home-births-rise-safe-205400504.html</a> </p>
