Glad she’s been struck off. Seems like a real selfish person. The poor mothers its difficult enough the process of given birth without someone causing more stress and upset. I wonder if they will sue for the trauma she put them through.

I am glad she will be out of the profession – Any other penalties?.

What is wrong with the world? :'( Such horrible things people do to one another. It’s not right. 🙁 Luckily the mothers and babies made it through, but a caesarean is nothing to shake a stick at! If it wasn’t necessary, I’m sure many of the mother wouldn’t have chosen to have it! Unacceptable!

I often wonder why people do things like this… What was she trying to achieve? Was it really just about her own convenience, and if so that’s worrying

Gosh there are bad eggs in every profession – scary stuff

  There are in every profession, but thankfully they do get caught!

She should also be charged with physical abuse. I hope she was sacked at a minute’s notice and no entitlements paid. She should be allowed to work in the medical profession at all – including a medical centre – not even as a receptionist.

  That is a bad typing error. She should NOT be allowed to work at any medical place.

How dangerously disgraceful this is, putting mums and their bubs lives at risk just to save herself some time.
Pray moms and bubs are doing well.

Thankfully she has been stopped from working as a midwife ever again. I feel for the poor mums involved in this case – having to endure unnecessary intervention.

Stupid woman some of those mothers may have delivered naturally and may not have had to have c sections, i’d be suing as you shouldn’t have that happen to you!

That’s terrible. I’m so glad she got caught

I would hope that not only is she struck from the register but prosecuted to highest degree for putting so many lives at risk.

Such a low and selfish act!!

It is scary that this woman who was in a position of trust could breach her duty to these women time and time again. I hope she is dealt with appropriately.

I hope she faces an appropriate penalty – at the very least she should lose her job and never be hired in a healthcare position again.

  yeah she acted very recklessly, for sure!

That’s terrible! Just making her own interests and putting the lives of those mums and their babies at risk. 🙁

yep selfish woman. no compassion. hope she never is allowed near patients again. they are lucky that nothing “bad” happened!

That is so shocking!After my daughter gave birth to her 1st child she felt she would like to home birth her next child. She has had 7 home births out of 8 births. Her midwife was out standing. She just let things happen as naturally as possible. They had healthy, safe deliveries. My daughter wouldn’t have it any other way. The last delivery the mid wife nearly did get there in time. 3 minutes to spare. That certainly was a close call.

This is disgusting. There has to be valid reasons for medical intervention. Speeding up labour is not a good excuse to suit her needs.

That’s unbelievable, what was she thinking putting mothers and babies at risk for her own convenience.

The explanation of serving the midwife’s own interest (and timing I suspect) is probably the only right reason. I wonder too whether there is some incompetence here as there are risks to the baby as well.
