The key point for us is that first, it's the US homebirth we generally discuss here and second, it's impossible for a midwife to ensure a safe birth when after the mother's DEATH, a trained midwife feels that she, the midwife, is the victim, because the bereaved husband somehow forgot that his wife had a «really
lovely spontaneous birth at home» and listened to her, the midwife, when she told him over the phone that transfer wasn't necessary because her, the midwife's husband, would not have listened to the midwife but to his wife when she told him, «I want to go to the hospital.»
