I am really sorry for the poor Mama who lost her baby. That is very sad.

As for the blame game, I think any Mama who lost her bub (or even has a living bub!) has guilt.. And maybe want someone to blame.. As it was mentioned before though was the chiro there as a friend?doula? or maybe a chiro, but taking a bit too much on for the 'scope of practice?' Either way, I couldn't read this and not comment.. I agree that if this legislation passes more women will opt to free birth as they may feel they wont be able to homebirth with support. I think this is where the problem lies.. Bottom line is: If women have the choice to homebirth it can and would be done safely.. I am not saying that free birthing can't be done safely, it's just that sometimes there needs to be an objective opinion to guide you and sometimes help, sometimes that person is not yourself, but a person trained to deal with situations similar.( I know that women are often aware of their own body and limitations etc, but emotion and pain can blur the vision..)
