When the tasi weaver went into labor throughout the tenure, she felt that she was far away from keeping her first child. However, as long as she was giving birth, she knew that her son had died.

The doctors had earlier told Tassi that when she went into labor immediately to call her local maternity unit, she says, because her high blood pressure and concerns about the development of the child meant that she needed to monitor.

But when he first called, despite being considered a high risk, a midwife asked him to stay at home.

Three hours later, worried that she could not feel her child moving now, she called again. Once and the same midwife asked him to live – it was normal to say because women could be very distracted by their contractions to feel something else.

The 39 -year -old told us, “I was considered only a kind of hysterical woman in pain, who does not know what is going on because it is their first pregnancy.”

When she asked her for the third time, a few hours later, a separate midwife asked her to come directly to the hospital, but by the time she arrived, she was too late. His son’s heart stopped beating.

Tassi and her husband, John, believe that Baxter’s Stillbarth could be stopped in Leeds General Information (LGI) four years ago. A review by the NHS Trust that runs the hospital, identifies care issues “likely to make a difference on the result”.

The couple are among the 47 new families, who have approached the BBC with concerns about insufficient maternity care at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals (LTTH) NHS Trust between 2017 and 2024. These include parents who told us that their children had died or injured, and women who described injury and trauma, who take care of inadequate care.

He saw our January investigation in the trust of 56 infants and two mothers in the trust between 2019 and 2024.

Responding to the latest concerns, LTTh told the BBC that it was “deeply sorry” that families were disappointed with the care obtained by them. It said that it is believed that it needs to be improved.

The trust had “clear steps to make real and permanent changes”, its Chief Medical Officer Dr. In December 2024 and January 2025, the Regulators of England, Care Quality Commission (CQC) in December 2024 and January 2025, said Magnus Harrison.

“We are investing in our workforce, constantly focusing on safe staffing levels, and strengthening our culture to prefer openness, compassion and respect,” he said.

Along with new families, three and whistleblower – in addition to the two in our first investigation – has also shared concerns about the standard of care at LTH Maternity Units at LGI and St. James University Hospital.

Both sites have been “good” rated by CQC, but all whistleblowers believe the rating does not reflect reality.

There is a problem with culture, a senior staff member told us. “People (staff) are afraid to increase concerns because nothing happens when they are raised. So what is the ‘point’ attitude.”

Between April 2015 and April 2024, 107 clinical claims were made against LTH for maternity deaths and injuries, BBC has learned through freedom of information request for NHS Resolution – Health Services Insurance Branch.

During this period pays more than £ 71m, including 14 Stillbirth, and 13 deadly mothers or infants include Tassi’s sons, Baxter.

A total of 67 families have now told the BBC that they experienced inadequate care in two maternity units of LTH. All the trusts want an independent review in maternity services – and one of them has asked Health Secretary Wes Streeting to lead it to senior midnight Donna Okenden.

Some Leeds families also joined others in England this week, so that Mr. Streeting could be requested to conduct a national inquiry into maternity security.

On Tuesday, he met the parents who said he “received a very clear message” that he was considering one. Jack Hawkins, whose daughter Harriott died in 2016 in Nottingham, told us later: “The door is definitely unlocked. This is the only way we can improve what is going on.”

Mr. Streeting had told a separate group on Monday, however, he would not conduct an inquiry, instead of announcing a separate plan – to improve security by families.

The BBC understands that such a plan will include an improvement workforce under the leadership of non-NHS authorities, a Buddhist system between poor performance and better trusts, and a restructural justice approach where hospitals and families will meet and vow to be open and honest.

Spokesperson of Health and Social Care said in a statement, Mr. Streeting has continued to meet the bereaved families how we can improve maternity services rapidly “.

“We are finalizing measures to strengthen leadership and create a culture contained in maternity services,” he said.

Common themes were repeatedly expressed by the latest families to contact us – in which women did not feel that when they raised concerns, they were not heard, lack of compassion, and the families said that the trust made them feel that they were alone in their experience.

A couple paid an unknown settlement by NHS resolution on behalf of the trust, Heidi Memon and their partner Dale Morton.

Heidi gave birth to her first daughter Lyla in 2019, two years ago Tassi gave birth to Baxter. Lyla died at the age of four days.

Heidi believes that her concerns were not taken seriously during her “painful” labor. Lyla was born in a bad condition after about 37 hours of Heidi, when she first called LGI’s maternity assessment center, reported damage to blood and fluid.

Heidi says that he repeatedly worried about low fetal movements and deteriorating pain and made several calls before being advised to be present.

“I just want that (Lyla) here. I think it has just ruined our lives, I will ever control it,” Heidi told us.

In an external investigation by the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB), the future security recommendations were failed to follow the rights.

Lyla’s father, Dale, says that the investigation has been written “like a list of errors”.

In January, we reported that 27 Stillbirth and 29 newborn deaths in LTH between 2019 and Central -2024 – as well as two deaths of mothers – were judged to be potentially prevented by a trust review group.

The reviewed deaths consisted of children with congenital abnormalities – and newborns and mothers were transferred after birth for expert care. The trust in response to our initial story said that the number of potential-save worthy newborn deaths was “very small”.

A senior clinical staff member working in the trust – one of the new whistleblower – told us that insufficient staffing levels described as “near Miss”.

He also said that a child died unnecessarily on one occasion, as the issues were not previously recognized during the mother’s labor.

The trust “does not learn from his mistakes”, he said, and often things “flow under carpet”.

Following its inspections of maternity and newborn services of the trust, a complete report of CQC’s findings, including all action, as asked to take the trust, is due to being published soon.

CQC told us that the trust was given an immediate response to immediate concerns, which required action to remove the identified risks. It also took enforcement action to require the implementation of safe staffing levels.

Two months after our report in January, NHS England placed LTH under its maternity security aid program (MSSP), which works to improve trusts where serious concerns have been identified.

England’s Chief Midwifery Officer Kate Bintworth told us, “We are taking incredibly seriously to the concerns raised by families about the quality and safety of maternity care in Leeds.”

Dr. of Lth Magnus Harrison said in a statement, “We are fully committed to ensure that each family receives safe, respectable and compassionate care. We believe that we need to improve.”

He said: “We have launched an independent external review to complement our newborn services to complement NHS England’s colleague quality review, so that we can better understand the data on newborn results.”
