Mum whose baby died at Shrewsbury Hospital claims midwives 'refused to see her'

A woman whose newborn baby died at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital has said she was left alone for more than 45 minutes after being rushed in almost two months before her due date.

Steph Hotchkiss' midwife sent her to hospital in September 2014, as she was experiencing extreme pain and had been considered high risk due to a placenta abruption in a previous birth.

When she arrived, Steph claims midwives refused to see her because 'they were busy doing handover' and ignored her concerns that she was facing another placental abruption.
