Great acting however it feels like so much was left out. The dots didn't connect. First, the midwife suggested they go to the hospital at what appeared to be at a reasonable point. Very little time occurred between when the 2 (slow) heart rates were taken and the time she asked the father to call 911. And while the mother did not want to go to the hospital she also didn't insist he not call 911. It seemed like everything progressed the way it should, at least according to how it was filmed. If the heart rate was slow towards the beginning of the birth then she let the birth proceed that would be different. Second, the midwife didn't a monitor the mother's heart rate. Isn't that standard? Lastly, the trial came across as a last minute rush by the writers and director to wrap things up. It was quick, unrealistic and really offered no real facts. I found the whole trial very strange. All in all i felt like I was getting little pieces of a story quickly thrown together. It was really hard to connect to any of the characters. Such a shame because it could have been a really powerful story.
