Wife 'brainwashed ' into home birth, inquest told

A woman who was so anxious about giving birth she hired a private midwife bled to death after her placenta was “ripped out”, an inquest heard.

Claire Teague, 29, hired independent midwife Rosie Kacary when she became pregnant for the second time in 2009 after she had lost one of her twins during an emergency caesarean section earlier that year.
