Edinburgh mum opens up about the trauma of losing a child in a maternity ward

An Edinburgh woman has opened up about the traumatic experience of losing a child as more mums call on the Scottish government to keep their election promise to give mothers who miscarry their own ward away from newborns.

According to the Daily Record, Annabelle Santini suffered the heartbreak of losing five babies and was forced to listen to the sounds of newborn cries as she mourned the losses.

40-year-old Annabelle remarried five years ago and was keen to add to her family. She already had two children, Isla and Hector, from the previous marriage but wanted her and her new husband to have a biological child together.
