A woman who lost her baby after contracting Covid, has told the Covid Inquiry that the healthcare system was 'unprepared for the pandemic'.
A woman who lost her baby after contracting Covid-19 during pregnancy has told the Covid Inquiry she did not feel safe as a pregnant woman during the pandemic.
Giving evidence from Belfast, Ms Todd said that for 48 hours no one seemed to know where Ziggy's body was as he had to be sent for a post mortem examination to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool. The unit said they could not carry out the scan as they wanted to reduce the number of people in the hospital.
Ms Todd waited 10 hours before she was moved to maternity. During that time, she said she was scanned and saw the baby move. "My partner, mum and sister were all told to stop ringing the hospital and I was left without my mobile phone so no one knew what was happening to me," she added.
