An angry mother has slammed a hospital after claiming she was advised to take a 'warm bath' while heavily pregnant which left her son with permanent disabilities. Dilshad Sultana says her baby Shanto Khaliquzzaman was starved of oxygen after Birmingham Women’s hospital wrongly told her to stay at home and then ‘failed to spot his deteriorating heartbeat’.
The concerned mum said she contacted staff after feeling stomach pain and noticing her baby's movements were reduced on June 20, 2019, Birmingham Live reports. The 31-year-old alleges that she was told to have a 'warm bath' and to call back when her contractions were coming every three minutes.
Knowing something was not right, Dilshad contacted the hospital again that same evening when she was then told to come in. She arrived at 10.30pm and little Shanto was born the following morning via emergency caesarean at around 1.15am on June 21.
