Maisie Jade Bates

Maisie was a beautiful little girl taken away from us after just 2 days.
She was born by emergency c section following a routine 39 weeks ante natal check up where we
discovered her heartbeat was very slow due the umbilicl cord being wrapped very tightly around her
foot.
As our local hospital HRI no longer has emergency maternity services i had to be taken to another
hospital over half an hour away,this time was critical and we believe cost Maisie her life had we
been able to go to our local HRI she would have been delivered in half the time and would not have
suffered the brain damage to the extent that she did and subsequently would still be here with us
now.
after she was born she was transfered to St James's neo natal unit for intensive care where the
staff there did eveything they could for our little angel but unfortunatly it was too late the
damage had already been done and was irrepairable and there was no more they could for her she had
suffered lack of oxygen to her brain and we had to make the painful decision to take her off life
support and let her be peaceful.
She died in the arms of her mummy and daddy and she fell into a peaceful sleep.
We will never forget our special little girl and we will always be thankful for the time we got with
her although it was only 2 days.

We love her so much and not a day goes by when we dont miss her and wish she was here with us but
she will always be with us in our hearts until we meet again.

Rest in peace our precious baby girl

Love you always and forever

Mummy and Daddy xxxxxxxxxxx



We now have a Facebook group MOMS (move our maternity services back) and a petition to restore the
services back to Huddersfield to try and stop this happeneing to anyone else if you could please
join the group and sign the petition you really could help us get justice for Maisie and save lives
of babies and mothers in the future.
Thankyou all very much xxx
