Absolutely heartbreaking
A Nottingham mum says she has been left traumatised after her urgent calls for a scan were dismissed before she fainted outside a hospital. Francine Edwards, 33, had one of her fallopian tubes removed after it suddenly ruptured due to an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy.
Ms Edwards was advised by a midwife to go to hospital on Friday, May 7 after experiencing severe pains in her stomach. "[The midwife] filled out a form over the phone on the scale of a possible ectopic pregnancy and it was at nine, one away from the highest," Ms Edwards recalled. "I couldn't pick her up by myself, one of my friends was in the car so got out to help me, I was proper panicking," the 35-year-old said. "It was very traumatic to experience."
Michelle Rhodes, Chief Nurse at NUH, said: “We offer our deepest condolences to Francine for the loss of her baby. We cannot comment on an individual case but we will take her concerns seriously and would welcome the opportunity to talk to her.”
