Mums speak out after inspectors found maternity services at Hull Royal Infirmary were unsafe.
Mum Kathryn said staff dismissed her concerns after she developed symptoms of pre-eclampsia during pregnancyMaternity services at Hull Royal Infirmary have recently been described in a damning report by the health watchdog as chaotic, unsafe and not fit for purpose. Three mothers, who claim staff missed signs of life-threatening conditions that could have killed them or their babies, have spoken to the BBC about their harrowing experiences at the hospital.
"She kept reassuring me over and over that's how babies breathe. I felt like I was drowning surrounded by lifeguards," she said. The woman added: "Given my experience and the fact a qualified midwife did not pick up on the fact he was fighting for his life shows it was a deeply, deeply unsafe environment because had I not gone on and on, he would have died."in a report carried out by the Care Quality Commission earlier this yearInspectors said the "design, use of facilities, premises and equipment did not always ensure women and birthing people were safe".
"I had all these symptoms of pre-eclampsia. I knew I had it and they completely dismissed me and he could have died."
