New mother died month after giving birth due to STROKE Hayley Constable, 27, was 'absolutely thrilled' when son Alfie was born But week after she came home with baby she was rushed back to hospital Her Caesarean wound had become infected and she suffered a stroke She died with family present - an inquest has recorded a narrative verdict A young woman who 'dreamed of being a mother' died less than a month after giving birth to her first child after suffering a stroke triggered by her Caesarean wound, an inquest has heard. Hayley Constable, 27, was said to have been 'absolutely thrilled' when son Alfie was born in 2011 - a year after she suffered a miscarriage. But just one week after she came home with her baby she was rushed back into hospital in severe pain, caused by an infection from the scar on her caesarean wound. Hayley Constable (pictured just after the birth), 27, was said to have been 'absolutely thrilled' when son Alfie was born - a year after she suffered a miscarriage She died two weeks later with her family at her bedside after suffering a stroke following a series of medical complications. At an inquest Hayley's mother Anne Constable, 52, a health visitor said: 'She was thrilled to become a mum. She was so happy, she was breast feeding and everything appeared fine. She seemed to be well, she was tired because of the breast feeding and the long labour and the C Section. There were no concerns raised at all, she spoke of the usual, breast feeding, tiredness, the normal thing a new mum would talk about. I cannot put into words the distress that we each feel. Hayley was a lovely daughter, very loyal and had friends from primary school which reflected how loyal she was, she was a very vibrant lady who was full of life. She was adored by the entire family. She was simply an amazing young lady. Hayley with her Neice Molly when she was born. Just one week after she came home with her own baby she was rushed back into hospital in severe pain, caused by an infection from the scar on her caesarean wound Hayley with partner Martin Fitzpatrick in 2010. Hayley died two weeks after the birth with her family at her bedside after suffering a stroke following a series of medical complications The inquest in Heywood, Greater Manchester heard that Hayley, a team leader claims technician from Ramsbottom, near Bury, had miscarried in February 2010 before finding out she was pregnant again in July 2010. She went into labour on 25th March 2011 and was taken to Fairfield Hospital maternity unit along with her partner of two years, Martin Fitzpatrick. Following a two day labour, a decision was made to deliver Alfie on March 27 by Caesarean because he was in distress. Mother and baby spent a further two days in hospital before being allowed home to Ramsbottom and was said to have been in 'very good spirits'. But the inquest heard that five days after she was sent home from hospital Hayley texted her mother to say that she had a lump on one side of the scar and consequently text her again saying she had found a lump on the other side. She began to suffer with pain from her wound which had turned red, swollen and lumpy. The discomfort became so severe that after a home visit by her GP she was prescribed pain killers and antibiotics. Mrs Constable said: 'She had seen the midwife the day before and everything was fine, she thought it was where they had cut a muscle, that was how she put it. The next day she was fine but during the night she started to suffer with pain. She asked me to look at her lump, the wound was clean and dry, I didn't examine it as such but she showed it to me.

She was reassured she had seen the midwife and it wasn't anything particularly to worry about.' But Mrs Constable said the following day her daughter took a turn for the worse and contacted her asking to go and see her. She showed me the wound and there was a red band about an inch running along the lengthy of it. I rang the GP and asked for a home visit. The doctor came out and she thought she had an infected hematoma, the wound would perhaps break down and let what ever had collected drain, she was prescribed antibiotics and pain relief. I went straight to the pharmacy. She was in a lot of pain but chatting. She came downstairs on the settee but the pain was becoming worse and worse, I decided to ring the GP and I was told to send for an ambulance. The inquest heard that Hayley was taken back to Fairfield Hospital where her blood pressure dropped and she was unable to move. The following day she was transferred to surgery at Manchester Northern Hospital where she had the infection drained. Yet that afternoon she was becoming shot of breath and was struggling to breathe and was put on a ventilator. Mrs Constable told the hearing that she was told that her daughter was suffering with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. She said: 'When they told us she had ARDS they told us she might have hours to live or days, or she could recover. We realised this was life threatening and it was just a nightmare. The hearing heard that she was transferred to Glenfield Hospital in Leicester on April 13 but passed away on April 22 with her family present. The inquest was told Hayley was initially restricted on the antiobiotics she was given at Fairfield because she had an allergy to penicillin. An inquest into her death recorded a narrative verdict. A coroner said she died due to a rare but recognised complication of necessary surgical intervention Pathologist Dr Alan Padwell said Hayley's deterioration had been 'a rare train of events' and as a consequence had developed a stroke on the right side of the brain. He said: 'I can't recall a post mortem on a lady who developed an inflection in the C Section wound that has then gone onto produce a train of events like this. A c-section was performed because it was necessary to be performed. A recognised complication of any injury is wound infection, Acute Respiritory Distress Syndrome then developed and then a stroke. I can see how each train of event occurs but I have not seen a case like this before. It is quite rare. Recording a narrative verdict, coroner Simon Nelson said: 'Hayley died due to a rare but recognised complication of necessary surgical intervention following foetal distress to her unborn child. No family should have to wait as long as you have had to wait for this inquest. I very much feel that it should have been concluded in a shorter time scale. I have no doubt at all that she had all the attributes you referred to. A very vivacious and attractive lady and I hope features of her personality continue to live on and you will see them as Alfie develops. I hope you continue to reflect on these wonderful attributes with great tenderness. Speaking after the inquest the family in a prepared statement said: 'Hayley was a loving and affectionate partner, daughter, sister and a friend to many. She was greatly looking forward to having Alfie in her life and building a family of her own with her partner. The evidence heard that certain internal guidelines were not followed and this has been a great disappointment to the family who feel this would have made a difference.
