Mother-to-be was third in family to die at 22 - The Telegraph - 9th January 2008

A woman who died during childbirth was the third expectant mother from her family to be killed by a brain haemorrhage at the age of 22, an inquest heard yesterday. An error in hospital administration meant that Kelly Hutchings did not see a consultant until she was gravely ill, despite her family history, the hearing was told. Keith Wiseman, the Southampton coroner, said he found it "incredible" that her case had "slipped through the net". He described it as "like going through six or seven red lights and not realising". Miss Hutchings, from Fareham, Hants, died at Southampton General Hospital after a brain haemorrhage caused by the rare condition, deep cerebral venous thrombosis.
