Babies may have died after miscarriage misdiagnoses

TWO would-be mothers may have lost perfectly healthy babies and a third is suing the state as a direct result of the HSE miscarriage misdiagnosis scandal.

A report into revelations that women were wrongly told they miscarried has uncovered a litany of training failures.

The National Miscarriage Misdiagnosis Review has found that in the past five years alone, 18 women were incorrectly told at public and private hospitals that their pregnancies had terminated. A further six who suffered near-identical concerns before 2005, also insisted on their cases being examined.
