Mother speaks out over hospital scandal that saw death of her newborn baby

[@MrBoggins1234]

This lady should be honoured for her courage and dignity.

[@Roselouise]

As a midwife I am forever grateful for the strength of this woman. You have helped to save other families.

[@h80096]

This is so so so so soooooo so much more common than people think. Awful absolute depravity in so many departments in so many hospitals.

[@rexstout8177]

Same old pattern. Half answers, evasion and waffle and then cover ups by bureaucrats.

[@arilebon]

Yes -- these parents should be honoured for their service. It's terribly sad and heart goes out to them.

[@rubydoo22-y8e]

I feel.alot of us are having a loss of faith in the NHS ,, I myself have had my own negative experience which I believed was covered up,, its difficult to get some.e kind of acknowledgement of wrong doing ....I feel for these parents and poor little lives lost to negligence..

[@MNP208]

I don't live in the UK. Childbirth is one of the most dangerous things a woman will do in her life. Are there medical doctors and anesthesiologists at these centers?? Midwives are valuable, but you need a surgeon to pick up the pieces in these severe cases! Regular vitals are paramount on newborns. Floppy and cold, placed in an unheated cot and not monitored? What were the nurses doing? Was there a pediatrician available or on call?

[@judemelroses9920]

Saddening. Hope justice is served.

The NHS in this country is just disgusting. I moved from Spain long time ago (for career purposes) and the quality is almost like a third-world country.

I had the same experience in north middlesex hospital. Because of them I got a csection infection. There was nothing apparent on the outside. It was inside the skin. When they cut me they were obviously not clean and mrsa bacteria entered inside my body. Had no symptoms for 5 days and on the 5th day I started shivering with cold and had a temperature. Went to hospital and the doctor gave me antibiotics. Then when I went home I got worse. I literally couldn't pick my head up of bed. When I called the maternity unit the midwife didn't even care and wouldn't let me speak to the doctor. I called the ambulance and the ambulance didn't come either because I was breathing. My husband had to pick me up and take me to the hospital in the car. When I went to hospital they suspected that I had severe sepsis. I had very high blood pressure, heart rate and tempeature. I stayed in hospital for 1 week. I could've died that day because that midwife didn't take me seriously. I hope justice is served for all of them 🙏 mothers and children

[@seif7626]

I'm not at all surprised! I'm an obstetrician and left the NHS in 2012 as I saw where the health service was headed..

[@ZackZick96]

The NHS NEEDS to be nationalised again. This is the evidence that privatisation of healthcare kills.

[@awaishussain1601]

Justice must be served for this lady .... her life is ruined probably for life due to the hospital .... both for the lady and the husband of the lady

[@rationraw5017]

Watching that grieve mother talking her experience and her deceased daughter is heartbroken. You can actually see the shadow of the unbearable suffering all those years from her face. What’s her strength? The flawed hospital system blamed her OWN daughter’s death on her! How cruel because for the hospital her daughter’s death probably just some statistical number rather than a real life,compare with the risk of losing reputation or compensating the mother with any means,the hospital would try most of they can/could blaming the victims rather than trying to find the real cause.

[@XX-gy7ue]

THIS IS A NIGHTMARE ! THESE PEOPLE ARE VERY BRAVE !!!!

[@Callummullans]

They should have never been allowed to self govern back in 2013 it has caused nothing but a drop in standards since. Hospital infection break outs and soaring disability rates due to negligence are not normal for a “developed” country.

[@Qaxoontii]

Poor woman and her daughter Kate, very strong woman and dignified.

[@therange4033]

There are clearly problems. However, the dire shortage of Midwives both in training and in practice and inexperienced Midwives having to care for high-risk women, lack of experienced Doctors, not having a Consultant in the building at all times (ie day AND night). The mistreatment afterward is a whole other problem. This was a nightmare waiting to happen and yes, it's disgusting.

[@judyrobertson5564]

This has got to change.

[@berachtdorian6191]

Somehow just about everyone forgets that some of the bloodiest Nazis were doctors.

[@karenn2969]

We need NHS overhaul, so sorry families for your losses and pain

[@TheVMYak]

Love and respect to you all.

[@ajakuk1]

RIP sweet Angel's. I think we all wish justice for these needless deaths.

[@mickbrown8249]

Staffs was not run to a good standard Shrewsbury & Telford trust,need professional standards ASAP

[@laurentlong7324]

it would be recommended to go abroad in France or Spain and use Hospitals there...they would take good care of you and your child.

[@እናቴየኔውድእወድሽአለሁ]

I lost my babiy boy before 6 months nobody answered my questions

[@annoyingbstard9407]

Another success story from the greatest health service in the world.

[@shelleybean1112]

We need a much wider care system community midwives community networking is needed there was so much more help and support even a century ago midwives nd nurses dont go into this profession for situations like this

[@gitfoad8032]

There's a blackstate mechanism that specialises in cover-ups in Brit. A branch of which is currently being inquired into: Undercover Police Inquiry, the serial rapists & arsonists of the Met's SDS.

[@jakephillips77]

Quick! Look over here!

[@stevenmoirey2j367]

bet u there kids are ok

[@VaucluseVanguard]

Part of the issue here may well be avoided; simply not discussed - fundamentalist feminism. Over the past 40 years a militant - and more recently woke - feminist attitude has infected the midwifery profession in the UK. Its underpinning unquestionable "truth" is that childbirth is a natural event not an illness. Consequently, pregnancy should be managed by the “female” profession of midwifery and not the “male” profession of medicine. Consequently, in particular in hospitals outside the major cities, where there are fewer obstetric (doctor) trainees and senior specialists, midwives have cut out for themselves a greater and greater role in clinical decision making and clinical risk management; they get to say what is and what is not safe in the peri-natal period and the doctor - with their propensity to regional anaesthesia and caesarean section - side-lined as much as possible. Women have been fed a diet of misinformation from the midwifery profession and feminist dominated elements of the media for four decades that this represented no risk to them or their baby.

[@ZackZick96]

Actually it's the abuse pandemic that's fucked everything up. Started in the U.S and bled over to the U.K. Of course childbirth is natural. Your issue is a total nothingburger.

[@ctakiute]

What are the religion of the murders? This shall put a light on the issue.
