A heartbroken mum who had two funerals for her "perfect" baby girl has spoken out over her 'unending grief' 30 years on. And while nothing can ever erase the pain of losing a child, Marie Kelly has now joined other grieving parents and people across the city in calling for a public inquiry into maternity services at Nottingham University Hospitals Trust.
Had she been listened to by a midwife at the Queen's Medical Centre when her water broke, Mrs Kelly believes her daughter would be alive, happy and have a family of her own'. But instead of this, Mrs Kelly had to go through a traumatic experience giving birth followed by two funerals.
The 52-year-old mourning mum from Keyworth can barely hold her tears back when speaking about Laura, her baby who was alive for only 33 hours. It all happened in 1991, back when Mrs Kelly was 40 weeks pregnant with her soon-to-be-born daughter.
