Charlotte Warner’s first child was stillborn due to mistakes midwives made during labour. Maternity staff stopped taking regular heart readings despite having induced labour.
Charlotte was just 23 when she lost CJ as midwives failed to notice he was being starved of oxygen.
A Serious Incident Investigation (SRI) into the care provided by St George’s Hospital in London, in May 2018, found guidelines had not been followed.
As part of a legal case led by medical negligence claims specialists Hudgell Solicitors, St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust admitted that had monitoring been conducted as required, CJ’s deterioration would have been spotted before it became terminal, and steps could have been taken to ensure he was born alive and well.
