Heavily pregnant mum forced to sit on A&E floor for nearly five hours

A heavily pregnant woman with a heart disorder was forced to sit on the floor of A&E for almost FIVE HOURS after no one gave up their seat. Bonita Baxter, 27, was rushed to hospital by ambulance on Monday (28/1) evening with chest and stomach pains. The mum, who is six-months pregnant, was told to wait for treatment but due to overcrowding she was forced to sit on the floor. Nurses advised her to stay in the hospital in case the pain was related to her pregnancy or a symptom of an existing heart disorder. She suffers from Tricuspid regurgitation, a condition which causes blood to flow backwards through the heart valves.
