Mother told to book appointment to give birth to her dead baby

Danielle Brown, 31, was sent home from hospital after her unborn baby, Maisie, died. She reported being given a booklet for bereaved parents and told to book an appointment to give birth. Newcastle Hospitals NHS Trust has since apologised for the incident, stating that the care provided fell short of the expected standards. The Trust acknowledged the failure in the treatment of the mother following the loss of her child during the pregnancy process.
