Mother whose baby died felt her concerns were 'belittled' by hospital staff

A mother whose baby died shortly after birth said her concerns were "belittled" on the labour ward. Baby Luke Cox Coghlan was born at the National Maternity Hospital on Holles Street in Dublin on 6.05am on December 28, 2016. He was pronounced dead less than half an hour later despite efforts to save his life.
The infant’s mother, Nicola Cox Coghlan told an inquest at Dublin Coroner's Court that she expressed concerns for her baby’s growth rate several times.
