If she is being charged for this... arg nevermind... ah the paternal nature of our maternity care. SO FRUSTRATING.

Ahhhh doctors... they know EVERYTHING. We just need to shut up! GRRRRR....

I love the parents for not blaming her and even more for being on her side during this. I really pray that the midwife is set free. Are CPM's illegal there?

[Falling Leaves]

any news on this midwive? how is she, the parents?

I think I read that the trial will continue at the end of October. They had a few days of testimonies and then for some reason it is not being continued until a later date. I remember when this happened and I still can't believe that if the parents don't hold her responsible that there is still a trial.
