Midwife said pregnant mum was 'faking' pain just hours before newborn baby died

A midwife said a pregnant woman was "faking it" when she expressed fears something might be wrong with her baby just hours before the newborn girl died, an inquest has heard.

Tiny Addison Lea Stevenson was born prematurely at 30 weeks and five days gestation following an emergency caesarean but died just hours later.

Heartbroken mum Donna Lea had been admitted to hospital three days earlier with ruptured membranes and was put on the delivery suite as there was a high chance of a premature birth within 48 hours, reports StokeonTrentLive.
