@受害者 : 我最初选择助产士是因为我相信自己的身体能够自然分娩,并且认为生育中心是医院和家庭分娩之间的理想选择。然而,我所选择的达拉斯生育中心却成了一场噩梦。在生产过程中,我出现了视觉问题,并且整晚都在漏胎粪,但医护人员却忽视了这些严重的警告信号。更令人震惊的是,他们篡改了我的出生记录,并且让没有导师指导的学生来照顾我,这完全低于应有的护理标准。最终,我的孩子因为缺氧时间过长而死亡,这本不该发生。现在,我致力于揭露这家生育中心的违规行为,并尽我所能帮助其他女性避免遭受同样的悲剧。我希望通过我的努力,能够推动对助产行业的更严格监管,从而防止类似的悲剧再次发生。我不能让我的孩子的死毫无意义,我要为其他的家庭争取更好的医疗保障。 受害者: 我认为最令人痛心的是,这家生育中心声称自己坚持高标准的护理,但实际操作却完全相反。他们不仅没有及时处理我的并发症,还试图掩盖自己的错误。这种行为不仅是对我的背叛,也是对所有信任他们的孕妇的背叛。我希望通过我的经历,能够唤醒更多人对孕产妇健康的关注,并促使相关部门加强对生育中心的监管力度。我希望我的孩子是最后一个因为医疗疏忽而失去生命的婴儿。我将继续为正义而战,直到所有的生育中心都能够提供安全、可靠的医疗服务。

They're professionals. If anything was to go wrong, they would recognize it as it was happening or before it was happening.

I believe my body will do what it's supposed to do. That's why I chose midwifery over the route of choosing an OBGYN doctor. I thought the birth center would be a happy medium between the hospital setting and the home birth setting. We assumed that these people were professionals that were being regulated by the state of Texas. They claimed to be upheld to these really high standards of care.

Did a lot of research and found a birth center in Dallas. Little did we know it would turn out to be a total nightmare. I had spots in my vision. Jennifer told me that, oh, that's nothing to be worried about. It's not in my chart, but I was leaking meconium all night. I said, is it illegal? And they nodded like, yeah, it's illegal.

Then when I was taking the screenshots, that's when I realized, oh my gosh, they changed something. To have a student taking care of someone without their preceptor there, to me is below the standard of care.

That is putting your client at a huge risk. And this is when all hell breaks loose. This is a life-threatening emergency. If we don't deliver this baby in the next few minutes, you are risking serious, serious harm and death. ♪

Yes, the death was a homicide, but no, the midwife was not prosecuted in any way. And as far as I know, continues to practice with no repercussions. They had to do CPR. He didn't have oxygen for so long that he didn't have any brain activity. So my healthy seven-pound baby that was healthy throughout my entire pregnancy died.

is now born with no brain activity and is in NICU. Too many American women die in pregnancy.

There's no question that in the United States there's a maternal health crisis. How could you do that? Does another woman prey upon someone's desire to take their autonomy and their body back from this patriarchal system that we live in? There's a quote that says, at some point, we need to stop pulling people out of the river and travel upstream.

discover why they're falling in the first place.

They didn't have a certificate of occupancy for the clinic in Dallas. We knew that they were changing birth records. We started reporting those things. I knew what had happened should not have happened. I knew that if this had happened to me, it probably happened to other people. And I had already made up my mind that I was going to try to do whatever I can to help other people from this tragic situation.

and horrific event that has happened to me.

A few miles from the glass spires of midtown Atlanta lies the South River Forest. In 2021 and 2022, the woods became a home to activists from all over the country who gathered to stop the nearby construction of a massive new police training facility, nicknamed Cop City. At approximately 9 o'clock this morning, as law enforcement was moving through various sectors of the property, an individual, without warning, shot a Georgia State Patrol trooper.

This is We Came to the Forest, a story about resistance. The abolitionist mission isn't done until every prison is empty and shut down. Love and fellowship. It was probably the happiest of everybody in my life. And the lengths we'll go to protect the things we hold closest to our hearts.
