A Nottingham mum whose baby died shortly after being born 27 years ago says the pain has never left her. Samantha Pannell, who lives in Bakersfield, gave birth to her daughter Shade at Queen's Medical Centre on May 15, 1995 - but the she only lived for five hours.
"Once a woman loses a child it never leaves them, the pain never leaves you," the 49-year-old cleaning supervisor told Nottinghamshire Live. "After she died I had a nervous breakdown, I had severe depression and I went down to a weight of about six stone. It was horrendous."
Ms Pannell, who was seven months pregnant, believes Shade could have been saved and claims staff did not believe her when she said she was going into labour.
