Homebirth Influencer Oyebola Coxon Arrested After Baby Dies During 2 Day Labour

Oyebola “Bibi” Coxon, a Nigerian-born midwife and social media content creator, was charged with manslaughter and reckless grievous bodily harm following the death of a baby during a home birth in Newcastle, Australia.


On October 2, 2024, Coxon arrived a home in Wallsend to assist a woman with a home birth.
Over the next two days, police allege she ignored signs of complications and requests from the mother to go to the hospital.

The mother eventually went to John Hunter Hospital on October 4, where the baby was delivered via emergency caesarean.
Tragically, the baby died in hospital on October 10, 2024, after suffering significant medical complications.

Coxon was arrested on August 14, 2025, nearly a year after the incident.

She has been granted conditional bail, which includes surrendering her passports and a ban on practicing or educating others about birth or pregnancy.
Her case is set to return to court in October 2025.

Coxon had gained a following online by sharing content about motherhood, fitness, and home births—including her own twin birth experience, which went viral in 2022. 


Her social media accounts have since been taken down

  7. Once they have easy birth they think it’ll apply to others, some women have it easy while some extremely hard. Body differs plus health problems, it’s very important you go to the hospital let professionals help you decide and on time.

  8. That's how a self acclaimed midwife that didn't even go to any school, just messenger and cleaner to midwives and nurses in health center assisted her daughter with home birth, her daughter was in labour more than 48 hours and yet, she refused to take her to hospital until it was getting out of hand, she later took her to hospital but was rejected in two General hospitals and was referred to a private hospital.
    Lastly she gave birth at a private hospital and the baby came with a lot of complications due to a very long time of labour, the baby had cerebral palsy, she couldn't sit even with assistance, let alone walking, couldn't talk, her head wasn't straight and later passed away after a year.

  9. Why will a woman take a risk such as this? After all you went through to carry the child, you choose to take a gamble with the delivery. Nna hennn!

  10. The craze for online contents and drawing followers to make money will be the undoing of many people in this generation❗
    Some even go for online dating and relationships❗
    People you don't know from anywhere, you feel you can trust them⁉️
    They should continue o!

    Ordinary online shopping, you get substandard products except from long-established and trusted retail chains.

  11. Those seeking earthly glory will always be humbled. The priority of the patient is number one. She knew things had gone far and instead of acting quicker delayed.
