A mother of a baby who died less than 12 hours after being born at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, did not give her consent to have the baby's heart rate monitored, an inquest has heard.
, who died of hypoxia at the PRH on April 11, 2021, Shropshire corner John Ellery was told that the mother of Poppy, Kathryn Russell was considered"low risk" by hospital staff.
She said the expectant mother was suffering from tokophobia - an extreme fear and anxiety over giving birth - and that she had requested a water birth but had initially wanted a caesarian. "We said she could [have a water birth] unless she required oxytosis infusion [a particular form of induction]. "Kathryn required a lot reassurances but was happy with the discussion and agreed to proceed with the induction as planned," said Dr Mohamed.
Dr Mohamed replied:"It said in my handover that she was a low-risk birth but she [Mrs Russell] would need a lot of reassurance, but I saw no issues with the baby.""Yes, once contractions have started or when she entered the labour ward, a CTG would be offered," replied Dr Mohamed.
