A Nottingham mum says she has been left traumatised after her urgent calls for a scan were dismissed before she fainted outside a hospital. Francine Edwards, 33, had one of her fallopian tubes removed after it suddenly ruptured due to an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy.
The removal of a fallopian tube is common for the type of pregnancy, however the mum-of-one, who was eight weeks pregnant, said nurses at Queen's Medical Centre missed an opportunity to give her a scan just before. After leaving an appointment she fainted in the car park and began to lose blood.
"I've been left absolutely traumatised and with no trust in the NHS," Ms Edwards, from Bulwell told Nottinghamshire Live. An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, usually in one of the fallopian tubes.
