A heavily pregnant Gladstone woman has made an impassioned plea to the state government to fix the Central Queensland maternity crisis as she prepares to "dodge potholes" on the Bruce Highway to give birth about 100 kilometres away in Rockhampton.
Milena Barbagallo, who is 37 weeks pregnant, admits she is "quite anxious" about the pending birth of her second child as pressure mounts on the government to overturn Gladstone Hospital's maternity bypass.
