A mum has urged people to "trust their instincts" after a routine check-up saved her baby's life. Millie Temple, who lives in Long Eaton, said her newborn Oakley was "fine" before attending the Long Eaton Health Centre for his 10-day check-up on April 20.
A midwife at the hospital noticed that baby Oakley was "breathing fast" - and proceeded to measure his heart beat and pulse. Remembering the "scariest day of my life", the 25-year-old mum added: "The pulse was too fast to count. "He turned blue and he was floppy. I had a panic attack - it was all just a massive blur."
The midwife called 999 and baby Oakley was transferred to the A&E at Queen's Medical Centre. The mum added: "He had a 340 heart rate. He was rushed to resuscitation.
