A scared mother from Birmingham was forced to have her baby on the side of the road, the Daily Mail reported.

Her daughter then had to undergo emergency resuscitation when she stopped breathing soon after her birth.

YvonneBowskill, Sarah's mother said Sarah first attended the maternity unit at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday and told midwives she was experiencing severe pain and starting contractions. But instead of examining her, midwives sent her home at 10:45 a.m.

Yvonne said: "They kept saying to her, 'You're not in labor. What you're experiencing is not labour.' She could not walk, and she was begging for help, but they just told her to go home. They wouldn't even get her a wheelchair."(点击英国《每日邮报》查看原文)

伯明翰孕妇大街上生子

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,伯明翰一位惊恐万分的孕妇不得不在路边生下了孩子。

       她的女儿在出生后就停止了呼吸,随后被送去急救。

       孕妇莎拉的妈妈伊温妮•鲍斯基称,周六上午7点半,萨拉觉得快要生了,于是便告诉助产士,她的子宫已经收缩,开始阵痛了。助产士非但没有对她进行检查,反而在上午10点45分时要把她送回家。

       伊温妮表示:“医生们一直在对莎拉说,‘你不是阵痛,你的感觉并不是真的要生了。当时她已经无法走路了,她乞求医生帮她,可是他们却让她回家。他们甚至都不愿给她提供轮椅。”
