According to the British "Metropolis Daily" reported on January 20, foreign woman Kimberly Byers suddenly broke the amniotic fluid when she was 24 weeks pregnant, and the hospital told her that she had to stay in the hospital to ensure the safe birth of the child. But 3 days later, Kimberly developed a fatal sepsis and had to give birth 4 months early for her own safety.
The newborn baby, Rory, weighs only 600 grams, and since birth he has faced a series of troubles, with an infection that damaged half of his intestines and caused heart perforation and ventricular enlargement, and he also suffered from sepsis four times. Even though Rory is now 7 months old, doctors still think he needs to continue to be treated in the hospital.
Kimberly, who travels 37 kilometers a day to visit her children in the hospital, now fears her maternity pay will end before Rory returns home. Kimberly said: "My child is still in the hospital, how can I go back to work? If we have a salary of 52 weeks, then we can still pay for the hospital. ”
Kimberly is currently in the 31st week of statutory maternity leave, while her salary will end at week 39. Kimberly said she has taken part in the children's charity Bliss, which will provide mothers of newborns with an additional 12 weeks of maternity pay. (Compiled and reported by China Youth Network)
