A Bathlodge couple, Gretchen Saunders-Christopher and Rody, are suing the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre for negligence leading to the stillbirth of their unborn child.
Represented by attorney Wendel Alexander, they seek damages, including for mental distress.
Saunders-Christopher, 43, blames the hospital for the stillbirth on November 1, 2022.
Despite following instructions for an induced labor due to her high-risk pregnancy, she was turned away initially due to a full maternity ward.
When admitted days later, her baby had no heartbeat.
She alleges negligence, recklessness, and suffering, citing mental distress, sleep loss, anxiety, and grief.
The hospital has not yet commented.
