A NEW mum who died just two days after giving birth to a baby girl died of natural causes, an inquest concluded.

Silvia Ivankova collapsed at her Bournemouth home while on a skype call to her mother.

A three-day inquest in the coroner’s court at Bournemouth town hall heard how the 28-year-old suffered chest and back pain and was struggling to breath on December 10 2018.

Medics at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital attributed the condition to her pregnancy as she was 39 weeks and one day pregnant at the time.

She was then transferred to Poole Hospital where her waters were artificially broken in the early hours of the following day.

Miss Ivankova, of Stewart Road, Charminster, gave birth later that day and was discharged home on December 12 2018.

On December 13 she returned to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital with back pain, dizziness and shortness of breath and died later that day.

A post mortem examination revealed she died when her aorta - the main artery from the heart - ruptured.

During the hearing, Miss Ivankova’s partner, Ben Clark, said he had concerns about the care and treatment provided at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

She had been checked by two doctors while in A&E on December 10 and a number of midwifery staff.

Miss Ivankova had no history of any medical condition or health problems before becoming pregnant with what was her first child.

Coroner Rachael Griffin, presiding over the inquest, asked Mr Clark: “I understand you have concern in relation to the care and treatment that was provided to Silvia, particularly in relation to the chest pain, and whether sufficient enquiry was undertaken to determine the cause of that chest pain, and whether anything could have been done to prevent her death?”Mr Clark answered: “That is correct, yes.”

A hospital spokesman said: “The thoughts of University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust are with Silvia’s family at this time. The Trust has already taken a number of actions as a result of this tragic case. We will now carefully consider the Coroner’s findings to ensure we take any further steps that are needed.”
