I have a hard time believing this involves either death of them, since it asks the question "are you lonely without mommy's love" as if she was still alive, I think she may have shook the baby because of the depression, and then the baby was taken away. She could have asked the doctors to plea with her that it was due to the condition known as post partum depression, but they wouldn't, saying it wasn't real like so many others have, hence she wants the doctors to pay for not letting her ever see her child again, but still holds guilt since she was part of the incident "tainted blood's still the same".

In the end the 2nd chrous, it's reverse from the mother's point of view, in the 1st, a person was speaking to the baby as I assume she was crying or something saying all those things, and in the last the mother is thinking all those same things about herself without her baby.
