[quote=Anonymous][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]

I'm a special educator.  I have taught students with brain damage from anoxia due to the kind of birth trauma the OP describes.  All of them were born in hospitals.

We can all speculate forever, but none of us knows what happened or if it would/wouldn’t have happened at a hospital. Here’s the thing though, if there is an injury, the parents will have to live with the guilt/question that things may have been different had they given birth in a hospital. [/quote]
