Warning after woman dies following termination
A coroner has written to a hospital trust calling for change after a woman died following an abortion.
Rhian Rose, from Worcester, terminated her baby at 31-weeks pregnant in a procedure at Birmingham Women and Children's Hospital in November 2019 after the foetus tested positive for Down's Syndrome.
She then went to Worcestershire Royal Hospital for the second phase of the procedure, where Nicholas Hayward Lane, assistant coroner for Worcestershire said she became unwell and had "clear symptoms of infection".
Medics had planned for her to deliver the foetus vaginally, however as her condition deteriorated she required an emergency caesarean section and later died as a result of multiple organ failure and sepsis.
Mr Hayward Lane questioned whether enough consideration was given to whether a C-section would have been a better option for Ms Rose and raised concerns that "enough emphasis is not being given to maternal wishes regarding mode of delivery".
He also called for more guidance "to assist clinicians when treating mothers in maternity units following feticide".
