Two midwives arrested for practicing without licenses after baby dies during water birth

Two midwives were arrested for practicing without licenses after a baby died while they were assisting the mother with a water birth in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Mary Stewart Barhite, 43, and Jacqueline Lynn Proffit, 45, of Indian Trail, were helping the mother deliver the baby inside her home when something went horribly wrong, authorities say.

When the infant was delivered, it was unresponsive. Emergency crews took the baby to the hospital, where it died.
