Nottingham woman 'thought she was going to die' after losing 2 litres of blood in miscarriage

A Nottingham woman said she thought she was going to die after losing two litres of blood during a miscarriage. Annie Steiger, of New Basford, described experiencing "gushing" and "streaming" bleeding while she was 11 weeks pregnant.

"I've never seen anything like it - I lost so much blood," the 28-year-old recalled. "I was screaming and it was gushing out of me."

Ms Steiger, a customer care adviser, said she had been let down by Queen's Medical Centre (QMC) in Nottingham, claiming she was not given any advice on what to prepare for after doctors were unable to locate the heartbeat of her baby. "There wasn't any information given to us and that's the issue," said her partner Chris Lough, of Sherwood Rise. Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) said it offered its condolences to the couple.
