A mother and newborn died during a high-risk home birth due to preventable delays in hospital transfer.
Jennifer Cahill, 34, and her newborn daughter Agnes died in a June 2024 home birth in Prestwich after complications including severe postpartum hemorrhage and fetal distress.
Agnes was born unresponsive with meconium and a nuchal cord, later dying from hypoxia.
Cahill lost 1.5 to 2 liters of blood, suffered cardiac arrest, and died from multi-organ failure.
Experts said both could have survived with timely hospital transfer for monitoring and intervention.
Paramedics faced a difficult choice between staying with Cahill or transporting Agnes, ultimately prioritizing the newborn.
A critical gap in monitoring Cahill from 7:16am to 7:55am was criticized.
Cahill had a high-risk history, including prior hemorrhage and sepsis, and her home birth was against medical advice.
The inquest continues, examining care coordination between midwives and ambulance services.
