Heavily pregnant mother given three parking fines after important hospital visits

A heavily pregnant mother was slapped with a £100 parking fine on three different occasions while visiting the hospital to deal with complications. Thirty-nine-year-old Hailey James Slayter had to visit University Hospital Coventry frequently for tests during her high-risk pregnancy.

The mother-of-one, who is now eight months pregnant, had to visit the women's unit at the Walsgrave hospital three times after experiencing complications. Hailey has high blood pressure, is at risk of pre-eclampsia and doctors also fear her baby could have birth defects.

She also has to visit the hospital regularly for tests and scans so doctors can check the health of her baby, who is at risk of serious complications such as spina bifida. Hailey told CoventryLive she parked at the hospital car park close to the women's unit on the three occasions she had to visit for urgent checks.
