A coroner has slammed the care given to a mother whose week-old baby died following a catalogue of hospital blunders as nothing short of shocking .
Tiny Kaylan Coates suffered serious injuries including skull fractures during a forceps delivery and died from a hospital infection days later.
Staff at Nottingham s Queen s Medical Centre ignored pregnant Hayley Coates pleas for a Caesarean section and did not spot her baby s signs of distress, an inquest was told.
Despite being a high-risk patient, she was allocated a newly qualified midwife - and maternity ward staff failed to monitor her properly despite having time to socialise and shop online, a legal representative for Ms Coates told the inquest.
