Freebirth Tragedy and Its Fallout | Brisbane News
Description
A wellness influencer and freebirth advocate died from postpartum hemorrhage after choosing unassisted childbirth — shattering claims that no maternal deaths are linked to the movement. Her case exposes dangerous misinformation and misplaced autonomy promoted by the Free Birth Society, whose trained birth attendants have been tied to multiple infant and maternal deaths. Despite her client’s deteriorating condition, the unlicensed attendant refused to call emergency services — a decision that now fuels a deadly debate over wellness culture, medical autonomy, and the real risks of rejecting professional care.
