TRINIDAD & TOBAGO (Trinidad Express)

Neisha Allert-Walker listened anxiously to her baby girl's heartbeat while nurses prepared her to give birth to her second child. Less than a day later, the nine-pound baby was dead. An autopsy performed by Dr. Rajendra Persad at the San Fernando General Hospital mortuary stated that the baby's shoulder was caught on the mother's pelvic bone during delivery.

The autopsy report also stated that the baby inhaled a mixture of faeces and amniotic fluid. But Allert-Walker, 26, on Tuesday said she believed her baby would have survived if a doctor was present to instruct the nurses during the difficult delivery. "There were no doctors in the delivery room. I told the nurses the baby was too big and I could not deliver her on my own before I even started pushing," she said.
