The pregnant woman told “not being dramatic” before her baby died after doctors ruled out the symptoms of the red flag as a “stomach insect”

The baby of a pregnant woman died after they said “not being dramatic” by the doctors who ruled out their symptoms of the red flag like a stomach insect.

Katalin Szabo’s son, Dexter, died 27 weeks after his pregnancy in December 2020 after maternity staff did not intervene in an emergency, despite the fact that his generation repeatedly on severe pain, vomiting and high blood pressure.

His partner James Moore, who had been waiting in the parking lot due to Covid restrictions, told him that everything was fine when he called the unit, only to receive a call from Mrs. Szabo shortly after to tell him that his son had died.

He had experienced a placental detachment, where the placenta separates from the uterus too early, which was lost.

The couple, a Human Resources and Tu Security Professor said that the attention they received at the Felchingbrooke hospital in Cambridgeshire, was ‘Third World’.

They affirmed that the hospital staff could not continuously monitor the baby’s sorcerer, omitted vital details of Mrs. Szabo’s notes and made documentation errors, including the registration of the incorrect time of death and badly spelling the name of her son in the official documentation.

‘We feel absolutely captivated from beginning to end. Kat was treated as if his concerns did not matter, ‘said Moore.

‘Knowing that all this could have been so different if we had taken to a different hospital is a difficult pill.

“The block restrictions worsened everything: if I had allowed me to stay and advocate for Kat, Dexter could have lived.”

Mrs. Szabo, who worked in human resources, had attended the maternity unit twice in November 2020 after developing vomiting and high blood pressure in her second quarter.

At that time, a midwife dismissed the mother’s concerns for the first time, telling her “not being dramatic.”

Then he returned to unity on the night of December 2 after developing a new severe pain in his abdomen and back. This time, a doctor who saw her discarded symptoms as a stomach insect.

The staff tried to download Mrs. Szabo at 1.50 in the morning on December 3, but refused to leave, fearing that something was more bad, since her pain was not being relieved by analgesics. In an hour, the staff could no longer find heartbeat.

Moore, 34, said: ‘The next call I received was from Kat telling me that our baby was dead.

‘He had a lot of pain and was sure that it was more than a stomach insect.

‘High blood pressure is a risk factor for placental detachment, as well as significant pain, so we only want to know why continuous monitoring of heartbeat was not used.

“This could have given a window for an emergency caesarean section that could have saved our baby’s life.”

Mrs. Szabo, now 36 years old, is still too traumatized by the experience to talk about what happened.

North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, which manages the FelhingBrooke hospital, has not admitted any responsibility or failures in the care of Mrs. Szabo. He has agreed an agreement with the couple for £ 20,000.

Mr. Moore described the figure as “a slap on the face.” “They valued Dexter’s life in a total of £ 20,000,” he added. ‘It was never about money, of course, I would take my son alive about any amount of money. But we didn’t know how to get his attention (outside of taking legal actions): we had filed a complaint and didn’t care. ‘

Since then, the couple has had another son, born in a different hospital.

“Our message for all pregnant women and couples is whether it is not 100 percent satisfied with the attention you are receiving, request a second opinion,” added Mr. Moore.

“The NHS is on your knees and, although people want to do their best and some exceptional people who work in the NHS, things are falling apart, so you now have to demand the attention you need.”

The couple has been supported in their legal case by Nathan Bunch, an associate in the Slater and Gordon law firm. He said: ‘There were very clear failures in the care provided to Katalin … The red flags were there and should have been seen and acted.

‘Katalin and James are understandably devastated by the loss of Dexter.

‘Knowing the result could have been so different if they only heard them, and Katalin received the care he needed in the critical time window, it is very difficult to handle for them.

“They must learn urgently from what went wrong in this heartbreaking case.”

Felhingbrooke Hospital faced criticism after the babies died in 2019 and 2021 when the warning signs were lost and the babies were delivered by the emergency caesarean section, too late.

However, its maternity unit was updated as’ required ‘well’ by the Care Quality Commission in June 2023.
