Premature baby dies - Daily Mail
Fri 17th Aug 2007 by Ben Palmer.I've just read this horrific story: Premature baby dies after mother has to deliver it herself in new hospital in the Daily Mail.
Where were the midwives that the health service so badly needs? When are we going to lose the initiatives, the spin, the New Labour hypocrisy and get a decent level of maternity care so that childbirth becomes as safe as we keep being told it is. How many more lives must be lost?
Hospital managers have to realise that 'sincere condolences' and 'being kept up to date with changes' is not a substitute for gold standard care. No amount of empty words will console this poor mother.
Rest in peace, Edward.

What an amazing article in the Daily Mail yesterday at your tragic loss. For the 1st time ever I felt compelled to write. Your children are so lucky at the way you are coping and going on to help others.
Please look into "Care for the Family" take a breaks. We have been on 2 and it has been really lovely meeting other people bringing up children alone.
Take Care God Bless
