Can anyone tell me what happen to a midwife if a baby dies during transfer?

I told my mother in ruling that I was thinking of becoming a midwife and she asked what would occur to the midwife if the baby died during labour, in lingo of insurance...whos' to blame... I never thought about it in the past, but I would think that if a infant died during a normal transfer and it wasn't the fault of the midwife that the party "catching" the baby wouldn't be at denounce...am I wrong?

It's a big responsibility. Most midwives don't treat high-risk patients -- a short time ago healthy immature women. You must have malpractice insurance too, I consider. Are you an R.N.? This would be a good first step, especially if you get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Good luck. Maybe you could be a doula for awhile if you basically want to be around birthing mothers, to get some experience and find out if you really want to be paid this your life's work.

Edit: For some foundation I'm able to access the New York Times directly and they hold an article on this very subject today. See the association below.

Help please!?

This question is abundantly more complicated than you probably realize.

A lot of the answer depends on whether the midwife is practicing within the confines of a hospital or doctor's practice---if so, they take insurance. Not that insurance is any protection from being blamed and sued---if anything, it freshly encourages it.

If a midwife be practicing solo, with no medical training or licensure, she'd be in big, big trouble. But as that's not what you want to do, it doesn't really apply. Modern midwives are closer to medical staff, more close to nurses, in most places. They work near the doctors and nurses (and patients!).
