Issues with home birth. Should parents be held responsible??

Question

Do you think if a baby dies or is harmed from being born at home is it the parents fault?? Should they be charged with child endangerment??

Answer

Children were born just fine at home up until the 1940's era. Babies die of various reasons everyday, whether at home or in the hospital.

Answer

If you're delivering at home your midwife will tell you it's unsafe and will move it to a hospital and/or call 911. Also if you're high risk you're encouraged to give birth in a hospital and it will probably be hard for your o find a midwife willing to oversee you (depending on what your medical high risk situation is) my partner is in school to become a midwife.

Answer

Hospitals make mistakes too...I will never again have another baby I. A hospital...it was the worst experience ever

Answer

It's hard to say without knowing the whole story

Answer

Wow, I can't believe so many people said no. Isn't the point of giving birth to have a healthy baby?? If the baby dies because it was born at home and not in a hospital how is that not the parents fault??

Answer

A midwife who does not seek medical intervention in time in emergency situations should be held responsible.

I would NEVER give birth at home, but I do like midwives. I need access to medical specialists and equipment. Hospital birth for me, please.
