Episode Details

A Victoria health regulator has extended a three-month ban on Emily Lal, a self-proclaimed “birth keeper” with no medical qualifications, after her involvement in the tragic death of influencer Stacey Warnecke during a freebirth at home. Lal, paid $6,000 for her services, admitted she told Warnecke her blood loss was excessive but didn’t call an ambulance — citing Warnecke’s refusal and her own lack of clinical training. The coronial inquest is examining not only Lal’s role but also the rising trend of unassisted home births. Lal, who cleaned up blood and later claimed she didn’t realize it was evidence, now faces ongoing prohibition orders due to an imminent public health risk — despite saying she’s stopped offering services and is heartbroken over Warnecke’s death.
