For any abnormal symptoms during pregnancy, especially if it is a high-risk pregnancy such as twins, doctors recommend that the woman go to the emergency room to rule out any complications.
It is what made one a woman with 26 weeks of gestation from Algeciras, who went to the Punta Europa hospital when she noticed severe abdominal pain and blood loss, symptoms for which clearly a pregnant woman should receive medical attention. After performing an analysis, he was diagnosed with a urine infection, prescribed medications and they sent her home. Hours later, the two babies they were waiting for were born prematurely and died.
The woman and her partner returned home calmly believing that everything was going well, but that same morning she broke waters. They called to emergencies twice but they were late, so they went down to the door of their house, where one of the girls was born.
"My wife was on the floor and one of the girls was coming, so I had to help her out and I had her in my hands", said the woman's partner, who is admitted to the Algeciras hospital.
But when the ambulance arrived, only the driver came, who was not authorized to perform any medical intervention, so they transferred her to the health center, where the second baby was born. Both died as a result of "a chain of failures", as reported by the girls' father.
It is possible that there was a precondition that triggered preterm birth, and that having remained under observation, the girls could have been treated quickly at the hospital at birth.
An investigation has already begun to clarify what happened, but It is outrageous that situations like this occur today. When a pregnant woman goes to the emergency room, all doubts must be cleared before sending her back home.
