United KingdomKelly Whitehead, a mother from Nottingham, claims her stillborn son Christopher would still be alive if the NHS had properly updated her records after she moved homes. She alleges that the failure to update her information caused her to miss 10 critical weeks of antenatal care during her pregnancy, which ended in stillbirth at 41 weeks. According to NHS guidelines, patients who miss appointments should be contacted through alternative methods like home visits or GP follow-ups, but Kelly says this did not occur. The hospital involved, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, admitted in a letter that there was a missed opportunity to monitor Christopher's growth, which might have allowed for an earlier delivery. Kelly, who previously gave birth to twins via emergency C-section, described feeling abandoned by the healthcare system and expressed deep grief over the loss of her child.
