Photo / FileThe teen couple has received an apology from the midwife for failing to properly monitor their daughter's growth. Two years after losing their daughter, the teen couple have today won an apology from a midwife for failing to properly monitor their daughter's growth during pregnancy and request suitable testing. The couple, their whānau and the midwife have not been identified in the report citing privacy reasons. An obstetrician documented that his impression was that the baby had probably died several days prior because of pre-eclampsia, the HDC report said.
