Mother Loses Baby for Three Years Due to Refusing C-Section Pre-Consent

V.M. has been separated from her baby for three years in the name of "child welfare." All because she didn't want to pre-authorize a cesarean section that neither she nor the hospital had any reason to believe would be medically necessary, and wasn't.

    Wow. That is just a terrible case of extreme injustice. The feds should step in and charge those who participated in taking the child with kidnapping.

    Strange thing is that you don't need to go to a hospital to give birth.
    You could do this at home and not even consult a doctor during your pregnancy.

    What's next... losing your child if you refuse that he get a vaccine, or not going to see a doctor if he gets the sniffles. 8O

    It doesn't list the hospital, but I'm betting it's south of the border.

    I have a young friend who's had all three of her kids at home.

    St. Barnabas Hospital in New Jersey.

    Hurley knows all about this stuff. I think all his kids were born at home.

    It's somewhere in New Jersey , and it has a 50% C-section rate 8O
    Someone's trying to rake in extra cash.

    So were mine. If I would ever have more kids (which I won't :lol:) I would do it at home again.

    Yep, both my daughters were born healthy and happy at home. Even our second, at 10lb 12oz. The important thing is that there's someone there who's trained and experienced.

    It's absolutely insane that the hospital can get the kid taken away because the mother refused to allow a potentially dangerous last-resort procedure to be treated as routine in her case.

    My wife had emergency c-sections with both my kids, the primary reason being she is narrow between the hips, with my second all the stitching was dislodged from the first and required 3 hrs of surgery to fix.

    In both cases it was a last resort and she didnt have to sign anything, they can have babies out pretty quick these days.

    This situation is completely messed and I wish these parents all the best in their fight with the state and this hospital!

    Yes, I'm sure its a money maker with the Drs just itching for an excuse to do one and raise their revenue.

    Why charge the parents? It wasn't necessary.

    Yes and it is beneath contempt for medical doctors to put this kind of "fundraising" ahead of patient needs. I have no idea how they managed to justify taking the child away nor how they have managed it continuously for 3 years.
