A mother was forced to give birth on her driveway after being turned away from hospital by maternity staff who she said told her to “calm down and go home” despite her being in agony.
Hannah Mitchell, 38, said she was in so much pain she “thought she was going to die” when she arrived at Walsall Manor Hospital experiencing regular contractions.
But she was left shocked when midwifery staff on a quiet ward sent her and her partner Phil Bryan on their way after telling her she wasn’t ready to give birth.
Hannah and Phil had to haul their bags back to their car and make the four-mile journey back to their home in Aldridge, Walsall on 30 December. But as soon as they pulled onto their driveway, Hannah’s waters broke in the passenger seat and Phil, 38, was forced to turn midwife to deliver their baby daughter.
