Hospital's negligence leads to heartbreaking stillbirth
Abby Holland, 20, lost her baby after staff at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in the UK reportedly ignored her worsening symptoms for hours.
She'd been transferred there for specialist care after her waters broke early, but a doctor allegedly dismissed her baby as "scrap," saying survival was unlikely.
TL;DR
Mom's traumatic experience at the hospital
Despite severe pain and heavy bleeding, Abby says she was left alone for 12 hours until a student midwife found no fetal heartbeat—her daughter was stillborn soon after.
A post-mortem found no issues with the baby or placenta, though Abby has a clotting disorder that can complicate pregnancies.
The hospital has apologized and promised changes, while Abby is now seeking justice and accountability for what she calls a preventable loss.
