[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my brother told me he was having his child at home, I was naturally concerned. I have children and knew enough babies that had issues during the birth such as being stuck, severe bleeding, cord wrapped around it’s neck, etc. I didn’t want to overstep with my sister in law. The birth did not go well and the baby nearly didn’t survive. She will be in the NICU for a few months and is on a ventilator. I’m having guilt about not saying more at the time. Has anyone been in this situation? Or have the perspective of a parent who birthed at home? It’s not like I think they would have listened to me or anything but I don’t think they understood the risks since it was their first child. [/quote] I'm so sorry to hear about your niece. You were right to be concerned and you were also right to keep your opinions to yourself. Just be there for them because it sounds like they will need it. Prayers to your family.[/quote]
