Manchester teacher in Dubai hospital after pregnancy loss at 30 weeks

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 21:32 · Archive

Zoey Campbell-Lowndes, a Manchester teacher, is in a critical condition in a Dubai hospital after losing her unborn son at 30 weeks pregnant. She and her partner Kevin were told their baby boy had died before Zoey underwent an emergency Caesarean section. Her condition deteriorated significantly following the surgery, and she has been placed in a medically induced coma.

Her family say her liver and kidneys are failing. She has suffered two episodes of internal bleeding and required blood transfusions and dialysis. She spent three days in intensive care before being placed in the induced coma as doctors worked to treat her.

Zoey's birth insurance plan covers emergency care involving the baby but does not cover treatment for maternal medical emergencies. Medical bills have already exceeded £100,000. Her family launched a GoFundMe appeal; more than 1,500 people have contributed nearly £80,000 towards her treatment costs. Her family described the situation as an 'unimaginable tragedy' and said they are grieving the loss of their baby while hoping Zoey will recover.
