A tragedy occurred in Great Britain, where a woman died, along with her baby girl, after she decided to give birth at home, ignoring doctors' warnings about the risks of a complicated pregnancy. Although doctors strongly recommended that she give birth in a hospital, she refused medical supervision and opted for a strict birth plan, which was described by her midwife as the "most intense" she had ever encountered. The birth took place without adequate medical assistance, and the baby was born without vital signs. The woman's husband called emergency services, but unfortunately, the mother passed away in the hospital just four days after giving birth. The woman had a difficult first birth, which may have contributed to her decision to avoid the hospital. The case highlights the risks of home birth, especially in situations with complications, and reiterates the importance of the safety of both mother and child in the birthing process.
