## Summary

Pala Negara, a former reality television star, has spoken about why she chose home births and distrusted hospitals, after her newborn son died following a home birth in northern New South Wales. Police are investigating the circumstances of the baby’s death and preparing information for the coroner; the article says no responsibility for the death is being attributed to Negara.

In a 2023 podcast, Negara described hearing repeated “code blue” announcements during visits to private hospitals and said she believed hospital births involved too many interventions. She also recounted a labour with an older child that lasted about 60 hours and said her first home birth was followed by a haemorrhage and hospital admission. Her son Harmony was born on 28 August, 20 days after his due date; after complications, he was taken to hospital and died that evening.
