A Warminster couple whose baby was stillborn have won a five figure out-of-court settlement from the NHS, after a midwife failed to take a blood sample to check for a virus that can lead to miscarriages.
Steph Pennington, 33, and her partner Ben Ayre, 30, are hoping to raise more awareness about parvovirus, after she contracted it when 34 weeks pregnant.
She had an appointment with her midwife at Warminster Community Hospital in March 2011, with concerns about the virus.
The midwife requested blood samples ? taken six months before in September 2010 ? be tested.
