A home birth gone wrong: Doctors sued for $5 million

Not sure what kind of prenatal care was done, but gestational diabetes was missed, leading to the birth complication:

Birmingham’s High Court heard Daniel’s family GP and community midwives had failed to spot his mother, Ingrid, had developed gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

She was encouraged to have a home birth, but because of her condition, Daniel was born weighing 11lb 8oz and his shoulders became stuck during labour.
