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.

How awful. I feel like things can go wrong in the hospital setting too, there's no winning anymore.

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.

It says she suffered cardiac arrest during birth and then passed away the next day at the hospital.
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.
I'm not a big supporter of home births. But, that's just my opinion.
No matter what, the story is awful and I pray for her family.

Very sad story.

For the record, one of my friends lost her mother in a very similar incident. She delivered in the hospital.

Stories like these make me wish there were a foolproof way of giving birth that could guarantee everyone comes out alive and well.

This is so sad.
