It’s been a year since my lawsuit against Better Birth of Utah (and Suzanne Smith LDEM) for abusing me during childbirth. I’ve healed enough from that experience to decide to have another child, this time under the care of an OBGYN. I’m happy to report that this time around I was treated with dignity and […]
I think I under stated the importance of the latest health department data that shows that out of hospital birth has more than double the mortality rate of hospital births.

I noted before that Nueve Lunas Maternity is Ester Werbach, and now I found that she is going by Ester Rolaiser. I’ve also found her going by Elda Ester Werbach. It is all the same person. She is trying very hard to hide who she is and what she did to me, but I have […]
One of the worst moments in court for me was when Ester Werbach was called to the stand. The defense announced that her father had died that week so she may have “emotional problems” because of that. But she didn’t, at all. I would describe her demeanor as emotionless, cold. I tried really hard not […]
according to anti-slapp.org: ” SLAPPs are Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. These damaging suits chill free speech and healthy debate by targeting those who communicate with their government or speak out on issues of public interest.

instead of refreshing this page obsessively you could follow this blog or subscribe to it so it emails you every time a post is made? Just trying to save whoever does this some time. I really don’t update that much.
UPDATE 6/17/2015 Better Birth was ultimately awarded 166$ by the court. Here is their latest filings for court costs. I blocked out the names of my therapists in red, and their paid expert witnesses in black. They are the names of people that Better Birth chose to retain at ridiculous expense, and none of them actually testified […]
