Baby F. died two days after he was born at an Oxford hospital on June 13, 2006. His shoulders had become stuck during delivery and the air and blood supply to his brain was cut off, according to an inquest heard at Oxford Coroners' Court.The assistant deputy coroner doesn't believe there was anything to suggest negligence or lack of care. He recorded that Baby F. died as a consequence of delay in delivering his shoulders.
The baby's birth was affected by the condition shoulder dystocia, where the shoulders become stuck during delivery. The attending physician tried four specialized maneuvers to free him, but he was born without a heartbeat and not breathing. On the two previous occasions she dealt with the condition, both babies survived.
The mother claims that more should have been done due to the baby's larger size.
