A newborn baby who was starved of oxygen after doctors ignored his mum’s pleas for an emergency caesarean died just 10 days later.Patryk Bielaszka suffered serious brain damage during the traumatic birth before the decision was later taken to turn off his life support machine.Following a scan in her native country of Poland, Patryk's mum Barbara warned doctors that she needed to deliver her baby by caesarean section or that he may die.

The ultrasound had revealed a condition that could lead to her blood vessels, which run from mother to baby, rupturing, the Mirror reports.Tragically doctors ignored her and the blood vessels burst during labour causing a haemorrhage which starved baby Patryk of oxygen.Barbara and Patryk's father Grzegorz, who have since returned to Poland and had another child, are taking legal action against King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust through Osbornes Law, for medical negligence.

The Trust has admitted liability.Barbara, 38, said: "Our lives changed forever when our beautiful son passed away in our arms.

We still struggle to smile and feel crushed by what happened to him."We had multiple meetings with different people and instead of taking responsibility they tried to blame me because my English isn't good enough.
