Home Birth in New York Magazine

My comments below on the New York Mag article about Home Birth.  Cara was not my midwife but many of my friends used her.   I was disappointed to see Home Birth written about in this way- there were many other, less controversial home birth midwives that the journalist could have focussed on. 

 I am an acquaintance of the Lisa that is mentioned- I was appalled that they didn't change her name.  It was a tragedy for her family and for the home birth community in New York.

From what my friend's tell me about Cara she is devoted and wonderful- she delivered my friend's twins safely at home.  She charges next to nothing for low income women, regularly provides services to the Hasidic community, and most likely doesn't have insurance because it is outrageously expensive.
