Mother Seeks Answers After Baby's Stillbirth

A grieving mother is pushing for answers through a review of maternity and neonatal care at her local NHS trust, following the stillbirth of her son, Felix. The 31-year-old mother expressed concerns about her unborn son's declining activity in the days before his death at 34 weeks gestation in 2022. She reported feeling dismissed by staff at Princess Royal Hospital, likening her experience to being treated as an anxious first-time mother.

Her final visit to the hospital was on Christmas Eve, when she was informed her baby had passed away. Giving birth to Felix via C-section on Christmas Day was described as a profoundly lonely experience. The mother also claimed she received no medical attention for several days post-birth, leading her to feel that her loss was not adequately acknowledged. She is urging other families who experienced concerns with the trust's care to come forward and participate in the ongoing review.
