A woman whose baby was born head first onto the floor of the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin, as she was moved between beds sued for nervous shock in the High Court. 

Lesleyann Flynn broke down in court as she told how she pleaded for help to get on the hospital bed as she was in advanced labour, but her daughter Mabel was born onto the floor.
