Devastated mum claims ‘NHS blunders killed her daughter’ who ‘died from blood loss’ after giving birth to twins two months early
Estelle’s mum Maureen has launched a negligence case against the hospital and says a caesarean could have 'saved her'
A MUM says hospital blunders killed her daughter who died giving birth to twins.
Estelle O’Sullivan, 37, died from blood loss after sons Marcel and Remy were born by caesarean two months early.
She was admitted to Wexham Park Hospital in her home town Slough, Berks, the previous day in February 2015 with heavy bleeding.
Estelle was categorised as high risk because her blood did not clot properly.
In October, Berkshire Coroner Peter Bedford recorded a verdict of death by natural causes with gross failure to provide basic medical attention.
He said on balance of probability Estelle would have lived if she had had the C-section sooner.
Estelle’s mum Maureen has launched a negligence case against the hospital.
She said: “If they gave me £20million I would say ‘No, I want my daughter back’.
“The day she went in they should have done the C-section.
"If they had she would still be alive today.”
Maureen, 72, would have had Estelle, the twins — now 19 months old and living with their dad — and her four-year-old daughter Renee over on Christmas Day.
But she instead went to stay with her sister in Malta.
She added: “I went because Estelle is not around.”
No one at the hospital was available for comment.
