Poppy Russell's heart rate was not effectively monitored and she died a few hours after her birth.
The death of a baby was preventable as her heart rate was not effectively monitored, a coroner has recorded.
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust, which has been the subject of a maternity services review, said there had been failings in Poppy's care. "These signals should have been picked up and in the situation which unfolded there was a failure to do so leading to Poppy's preventable death," he said.Coroner John Ellery ruled at Shire Hall that Poppy Russell's death is preventable
But he said Mrs Russell's birth plan showed the first on her list of her priorities was regular monitoring of the baby's heart, and added it was "inconceivable that she would have changed her mind and wanted anything less".
