Amelia Smith was found unresponsive by her partner
A mum, who was described as “the glue” which held her family together, died weeks after giving birth.
A month after the birth of Poppy, Amelia and her partner Tom Mooney had gone out for a meal on November 13. They returned home and Amelia had complained of having a “sore belly”. At 6.30am that day, Tom said he heard a “deep gasp for air” from Amelia which he described sounded like an exhale and thought Amelia was in a “deep sleep”. The two children were both up at this stage and Tom went to attend to them and thought Amelia was having a lie in.
Despite the best efforts of emergency services Amelia was pronounced dead. The inquest heard how Amelia had a history of low potassium levels and on September 22, 2021 was treated for this with an intravenous potassium infusion. She had gone to hospital after suffering with symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
On September 29, Amelia returned to Liverpool Women’s Hospital to be induced and on October 1 her daughter Poppy was born. On October 3, Amelia was discharged home and into the care of community midwives.
