When Jennifer Cahill went into labour with her second child at home in summer last year, she thought that the delivery, assisted by two midwives and with her husband by her side, would be a relatively simple one. Within 24 hours, however, she was dead, and her newborn daughter was fighting for her life after experiencing “horrors that should be consigned to a Victorian-age nightmare”.
Cahill, 34, who was an international export manager, died after her baby, Agnes Lily, was born in the early hours of 3 June last year at her home in Prestwich, north of Manchester.
