flag A Glasgow couple was wrongly given a stillborn baby due to a midwife’s error, compounding their grief.

flag In December 2019, Glasgow woman Lindsay Richardson experienced a stillbirth at 21 weeks and later suffered a severe hemorrhage requiring emergency surgery. flag During her procedure, a midwife mistakenly gave her partner John a different infant—smaller and less developed—leading him to grieve for nearly an hour before the mix-up was discovered. flag The error, caused by a lack of identification checks and staff assumptions, was deemed avoidable by an NHS investigation. flag The incident compounded the couple’s trauma, contributing to mental health struggles and their eventual separation. flag NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde apologized, implemented new safety protocols, and honored Charlie’s memory annually.
