Woman Wakes Up 6 Days After C-Section To Find Both Her Legs Amputated


A mother-of-eight who went into hospital to give birth has told of the trauma she went through after waking up six days after her C-section to discover both her legs had been amputated.
Ella Clarke, 31, from Torquay, Devon, thought she was coming round from her caesarean but she was left devastated as doctors informed her that after five days of being in an induced coma they had made the decision to remove her lower limbs.
The mum and her partner Ian Ross, 32, a mechanic, are now terrified about what the future holds as she's left wheelchair-bound.


During her pregnancy Ella was told that she had a low lying placenta commonly known as placenta previa and would need a C-section

Ella has instructed to a solicitor who is now now acting on Ella's behalf to launch legal action against the Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust.
Ella says how she always wanted a large family and had her first child Abbie, now 13, at the age of 18 with a chIldhood sweetheart.
After the relationship broke down, Ella met husband Ian in 2005. A year later, the pair started dating and decided they both wanted a big family.

'Going into hospital to have a baby should have been the best moment of my life,' she said. 'Instead my world has been shattered.
'I was an active mum doing the school runs and chasing my family around the garden. Now I'm the complete opposite.
'I might never be able to run after my children, or stand next to them. No human being should ever have to experience this after it could have so easily been avoided.'
