Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Georgia

In a nutshell we just finished the discovery phase of a med mal case in which our doctor failed to send my 39 week and 1 day, type 1 diabetic, pregnant wife to the hospital after 2 failed NST's which led to the stillborn death of our son just 3 days later. Everyone has been deposed and the defense attorney has reached out to our attorney and advised that they are 'interested in resolving the case through mediation'.
My questions are, because the defense has reached out to our attorney and are seeking resolution...
A. Is this normal procedure for defense to, in our opinion, admit guilt by looking to resolve (settle) through mediation?
B. Can we assume that because the defense wants to resolve this that we can expect a decent settlement as they don't want it to see the inside of the courtroom?
Thanks in advance for the insight!

There is a great person to ask and he/she knows all about your case -- your lawyer. That is who you call to discuss your case.
