[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The baby’s condition may have nothing to do with the birth plan - and it wasn’t your brothers call or anyones call but moms (yeah, unpopular opinion, but mom gets to decide where she gives birth and who is present because it’s her medical event not anyone else’s).

Say nothing at all about the birth, just find ways to be supportive that help the parents. [/quote]

The baby's condition had everything to do with home birth. Over 37% of these births have issues, the things op described would not have happened in a hospital. [/quote]

Most babies in the NICU were born in the hospital. OP did not provide any information that means the baby's condition is because of the homebirth - I agree that hospitals are in better position often to manage birth complications, but OP's niece/nephew is getting the medical care they require, and apparently so is mom. THAT is what matters. OP can be grateful that baby is alive and getting care, and can do things to help her brother/SIL with adjusting to parenthood. [/quote]
