Why would you be concerned Jean? Are there any poster here who have
failed
to listen to EVERY midwife they spoke to and then hired one illegally to
give birth at home to a breached baby?



You don't know the whole story. You are going on a post that came from
someone who doesn't know the whole story. This is called hearsay and is
disallowed in courts of law for very good reason - the story gets distorted.
The fact that the midwife was not registered does not mean that she was
unqualified and/or unexperienced.


Oh of course... if there are regular posters here who have lost a child at
birth, for sure ((((MEGA HUGS))).


That is why. One of whom is a very good personal friend of mine and has had
to endure comments like that from people who judge without knowing the full
story.



I dunno.. if I had lost Tommy at birth, I would be devasted and hearing
about this woman and how she did nothing to prevent it would make me even
more upset at her.


Again, how do you *know* she did nothing to prevent it? Complications arise
during labour and birth for many reasons. A breech birth can be safer than
a managed delivery or a scheduled c/s, both of which have their own inherent
risks.
