Great. I'm safe with these people.
They're professionals. If anything was to go wrong, they would recognize it as it was happening or before it was happening.
I believe my body will do what it's supposed to do. That's why I chose midwifery over the route of choosing an OBGYN doctor.
I thought the birth center would be a happy medium between the hospital setting and the home birth setting. We assumed that these people were professionals that were being regulated by the state of Texas.
They claimed to be upheld to these really high standards of care. I did a lot of research and found a birth center in Dallas.
Little did we know it would turn out to be a total nightmare. I had spots in my vision.
Jennifer told me that, oh, that's nothing to be worried about. It's not in my chart, but I was leaking meconium all night.
I said, is it illegal? And they nodded, like, yeah, it's illegal. Then when I was taking the screenshots, that's when I realized, oh my gosh, they changed something.
To have a student taking care of someone without their preceptor there, to me is below the standard of care. That is putting your client at a huge risk.
And this is when all hell breaks loose. This is a life-threatening emergency.
If we don't deliver this baby in the next few minutes, you are risking serious, serious harm and death. Yes, the death was a homicide, but no, the midwife was not prosecuted in any way.
And as far as I know, continues to practice with no repercussions. They had to do CPR.
He didn't have oxygen for so long that he didn't have any brain activity. So my healthy seven-pound baby that was healthy throughout my entire pregnancy is now born with no brain activity and is in the NICU.
Too many American women die in pregnancy. There's no question that in the United States there's a maternal health crisis.
How could you do that? Does another woman prey upon someone's desire to take their autonomy and their body back from this patriarchal system that we live in? There's a quote that says, at some point, we need to stop pulling people out of the river and travel upstream and discover why they're falling in the first place. They didn't have a certificate of occupancy for the clinic in Dallas.
We knew that they were changing birth records. We started reporting those things.
I knew what had happened should not have happened.

I knew that if this had happened to me,

it probably happened to other people.

And I had already made up my mind

that I was going to try to do whatever I can

to help other people from this tragic

and horrific event that has happened to me. If you like Something Was Wrong, you can listen early and ad-free right now by joining Wondery Plus in the Wondery app or on Apple Podcasts.
