A heartbroken family have described the devastating final moments they have had with their daughter before she died at just six days old. Amanda Hallam was due to give birth to her baby Martha on March 16 last year.
But months before her due date on November 21, she was admitted to Nottingham City Hospital threatening preterm labour, at 23 weeks and 4 days pregnant. As a baby’s survival at 22 weeks is only 10 percent, increasing to 60-70 percent from 24 weeks, Martha's parents were told to prepare for the worst.
Thankfully, within 24 hours, labour had stopped. But for the next four days Mrs Hallam remained on the labour suite with constant monitoring, until in the early hours of November 26 when her "waters broke unexpectedly".
