There was never any follow-up with how are we going to fix this? Are we going to do any action plan? Are we going to do any round table or anything? We used to sit down with everybody that was at the birth. And if anytime there was a traumatic birth or anything that you needed to basically learn from, you would sit down with everybody that was at the birth. And you would talk about it.

You would process the birth essentially. And it never really made sense to me why they didn't do that with any of these difficult births or why we weren't coming up with solutions for any of these things. And I did constantly suggest solutions.

At one point, we even came up with a solution and the midwives were even begging to break up and did smaller teams of two to where clients could pick your team of two midwives. So you're still at origins, but instead of seeing like a team of three or four midwives, you're going to a pair of midwives. Because I think that's where a lot of the things got missed.

You're getting tossed around three midwives and then you have people filling in for those midwives. It's just chaos all the time. And it makes me so sad that Origins didn't care enough about these mothers or these babies that I, as the executive director, didn't know enough about these mothers or these babies that I don't know their names. We had a mom in the ICU and I didn't know about that.

That is mind-boggling to know that we had a mom in the ICU while I worked there and I didn't know about it. They sold this, the collective, as well-rested midwives that you always know and you love your team, but that's definitely not what the clients got. The midwives were overworked. If somebody was out sick or had an emergency, the other midwives never wanted to pick up a shift.

I don't blame them. They're exhausted. Gina and Caitlin rarely, rarely ever stepped up. And if they did, it was for like half a day or a few hours. Gina was way better at this than Caitlin. If Caitlin did anything, she wanted to get paid for it. She wanted extra pay. That always drove me crazy.

The midwives were made to work through their personal emergencies, family emergencies, their own medical emergencies. There are some midwives that were actively working where Gina and Caitlin would not help them while they are having medical emergencies. You can't be a good midwife in that situation. So they actually reached out to Gina and Caitlin for help. And then this is happening.
