One wonders if there’s an insanity defense lurking here. It’s commonly claimed that life committed into a mental hospital is a fate worse than life in prison. ---

There’s some might hefty hormones and drives at work in reproduction. Sounds like the wacko woman was jealous to the point of literal insanity. She probably started out pretty close to insane before she developed her fixation on the Mom-to-be and baby. I wonder whether her confused intent was to take the living baby as her own and she failed, or whether she was intending to murder it all along and her showing up at the hospital claiming it was her own was simply a ruse? Not that somebody that wacky can necessarily make a coherent plot then execute it competently. It wouldn’t take more than a few seconds for any medic at the hospital to notice the wacko woman had not recently been pregnant; that condition leaves signs. ---
