Inquest scheduled to examine risks and care leading to the death of a six-day-old baby during a home birth in Victoria, Australia.
A coroner in Victoria, Australia, will investigate the death of six-day-old Baby R, who died after a planned home birth went wrong.
The mother, who had a traumatic previous birth, was transferred to Bendigo Health for an emergency Caesarean when Baby R's heart rate increased.
The inquest will examine whether she was correctly informed about her high-risk pregnancy and the unsuitability of a home birth.
It will also look into midwifery care and communication between practitioners.
The inquest highlights missed opportunities for risk assessment and is scheduled for July.
