welcome back we're continuing the news to the chilling story now of a woman who lost her baby
after delivering the child by herself in the accident and emergency department at
the Spanish Town Hospital in Saint Catherine. The 26 year old woman told TVJ News that she
was neglected for hours by nurses who told her they were not trained
to deliver a baby and the doctor was on his way Kelesha Williams has that story
the bond between mother and child is like no other but even as 26 year old Shanique Armstrong
shared a moment with her daughter on Monday her mind is on the child she lost a week ago
it all started here when she turned up at the spanish town hospital in saint catherine
to treat a persistent cough and was diagnosed with pneumonia 24 weeks pregnant
and a history of short-term pregnancies she was being extra careful she was later admitted but
then something strange started to happen and she believed it had nothing to do with the pneumonia

a vitals she explained that the nurse examined her and asked if she needed to use the bathroom
but as the minutes became hours the pain got worse and then the unexpected happened her water broke

was in the waiting area of the accident and emergency department which she described as
a makeshift isolation unit for patients i'm in leodon i'm a field of vehicle dog
and she come over my nose say the next time she go down she'll come out and just as she imagined
within a few minutes she was giving birth frantic and frustrated she said she called the nurse who
informed her that there was nothing she could do and the doctor was on his way when we say nervous
