Midwife found guilty of drugging pregnant women

"A midwife has been found guilty of deliberately drugging 15 pregnant women in an apparent (b)id to make her work easier, leaving most needing caesarean sections to save the lives of their babies."

"Kirsteen Stewart, from Newmachar, Aberdeen, administered expectant mothers with a labour-inducing drug which resulted in some babies' heartbeats dropping as low as 50bpm."

"A nursing watchdog said the only plausible explanation was a desire to speed up labour in order to 'serve the midwife's own interests'. "

"Some 13 of the mothers had to undergo an emergency caesarean section after Ms Stewart gave them Syntocinon, which causes the muscles in the uterus to contract."

"Although no babies were killed by her actions, two had to be resuscitated at birth and one had to spend time in a neonatal unit...."

"Police investigated Ms Stewart in 2010 but no criminal proceedings were brought. The Crown Office said today that they reserved the right to reopen the investigation if further evidence became available."
