Staff reporter(wp/bbc):
A woman who "lost faith" in her hospital because of the way she was treated when she miscarried has spoken of her joy at giving birth.
Emily Daft said she was left to miscarry at home in January 2017 after Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre refused to see her.
The QMC apologised to Mrs Daft, who has health issues and had miscarried before, for causing distress.
She had a baby girl at Nottingham City Hospital on 17 December.
Mrs Daft, 25, said Ayla Grace has been "a dream baby" and only wakes up in the night for feeds.
She said they never thought they would have her.
"We can't get our heads around it. It feels like we are on top of the world. I don't think it has sunk in that she is ours."
She and husband Adam, 27, had been trying for a baby for five years, a period that included an earlier miscarriage, a fight for IVF, as well as the miscarriage she suffered after the QMC told her to go home.
Despite successfully falling pregnant, because of Mrs Daft's previous experience she felt anxious right up to her due date.
"Up to the 24th week I was throwing up before every appointment," she said.
She was transferred to Nottingham City Hospital after her ninth week, where she said the care she received was "fantastic".
Mrs Daft left hospital with her baby on 21 December.
She said: "It has been such a long journey. It has been completely worthwhile, everything we went through. To finally be here is the most wonderful feeling.
"I would love for people who are going through what we went through to know it is worth the fight."
