Can you trust the hospital to tell the truth?

Hi Kaylee

I read Lola's story in teddy Love Club news letter tonight. The photos looked really beautiful.
We were told we would have to wait 3 months as well for Maddison's Autopsy. I remember thinking at the time"wow that is forever away" I then rang my GP and she said she would be able to get them early. We received a phone call from her 6 weeks later. I still attended the appointment with out fetal Specialist to see if she had anything different to add. I also took Maddison's autopsy results to another hospital to get a third opinion. You can ring up where Lola's autopsy was taken place and ask then when they think it would be available. ( I also did this)
I was relieved to get the results I felt it gave me closure.


I hope you are looking after yourself

I think this is a good idea. If nothing else, it will help allay your fears that information is being with held from you or that the hospital is stalling to cover itself.

I also think Schmickers advice about getting some independent support is good. Get your antenatal and birth notes, and the autopsy results and get some more opinions.

While we don't know what went wrong to cause this horrible outcome, I think it's fair to assume that you may well be given the sanitised version if your only source of information is the people who were involved in your care. So from that perspective alone it makes sense to get some independent opinions.

I read your blog last week and I'm so sorry for the loss of baby Lola. I hope you can find some closure and some answers

hi kaylee

im very sorry for what has happened to you, first of all i dont think they would keep things secret from you, im a registered nurse and its a big NO NO although sometimes not everyone especially people up the top of the ladder abides by the rules, if you want piece of mind im sure you can gain access to all notes and reports via freedom of information as she was your child, there is no way they can keep these notes from you. I wish you best of luck, also perhaps get a second opinion or a second coroners report if you are not satisfied, im not sure if this would cause any out of pocket expense but its worth it if it gives you closure.
