Sydney mum ‘forced into birth in a bedroom’
A MOTHER has claimed she was forced to give birth on her bedroom floor after being turned away from a Sydney hospital because there were not enough beds.
Natasha Ramirez, 27, was bleeding and in labour when she first arrived at Liverpool Hospital last Thursday but said she was told by a nurse, “We don’t have enough room tonight.”
“She told me to go back home because I wouldn’t be in labour for another 24 to 48 hours,” Ms Ramirez said yesterday.
Five hours later baby Anjelita was born on the bedroom floor at the Ramirez home.
The hospital last night refused to comment on the specific allegations.
