BBC NewsA mother, whose son was stillborn, has said she's not sure she will ever come to terms with what happened.
Doctors were unable to resuscitate Freddie Webster after he was born by Caesarean section at King’s Mill Hospital in Sutton-in-Ashfield in June last year.
An investigation has since found there were a number of failings in the care Freddie and his mother Kayleigh.
Image source, GoogleKayleigh was sent home from hospital after her waters broke but was later admitted showing signs of sepsis.
The next day tests showed Freddie’s heart rate was slowing down and not normal. Another test, nearly four hours later, highlighted further serious concerns about his heart rate and an emergency Caesarean was performed.
Image source, Kayleigh Turton and Scott WebsterA report has found hospital staff missed three chances to raise concerns about Freddie’s condition and that a busy ward impacted on the care Kayleigh received.
Sherwood Forest Hospitals has "sincerely apologised" for what happened to Kayleigh and claims it has since taken action in a bid to stop further incidents like this.
Quote MessageA full investigation has taken place and since this happened we have made a number of changes within our maternity services. For example we have reviewed practises around the monitoring of babies’ heart rates and clarified the process about how and when to escalate issues to senior colleagues."

End of twitter postCricket: Talks to introduce 100-ball formatpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 19 April 2018
BBC SportA new style of cricket could soon be coming to Trent Bridge.
The England and Wales Cricket Board wants to introduce an innovative '100 balls' format into its new eight-team, city-based tournament.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe concept could see innings consist of 15 traditional six-ball overs, and a final 10-ball over.
That would be 20 balls shorter than traditional T20 matches.
Those devising the competition believe a 100-ball 'countdown' would attract new audiences and be popular with broadcasters.
The ECB is proposing the competitions starts in 2020 and will feature a side playing at the Nottingham ground.

BBC NewsThe High Court has ruled against a group of junior doctors who claimed Derby Hospitals NHS trust breached their contracts of employment by not ensuring they had proper breaks during the working day.
The 21 doctors, led by Dr Sarah Hallett, argued they were due a 30-minute break for every four hours they are continuously on duty or be paid double for the time.
NHS lawyers argued this could cost the trust £250,000 and open up claims from junior doctors across England.
Mrs Justice Simler ruled that the trust had "responsibly" emailed junior doctors to emphasise the importance of taking natural breaks.
The British Medical Association, which supported the test case, called the verdict "deeply disappointing" and said it was planning to appeal.
