Carla Foster took abortion pills at between 32 and 34 weeks pregnant.
Carla Foster, 44, discovered she was pregnant in late 2019 after she had been having relationships with two men other than her estranged partner. Stoke-on-Trent crown court heard how she did not know which of the men was the father.
On May 9 she took one mifepristone tablet and the four misoprostol tablets at 1pm on May 11, 2020. But three hours later she called 999. The baby, named Lily, was born at 7pm that evening. She was not breathing and was taken to the Royal Stoke University Hospital where she was pronounced dead at 7.45pm.
Foster continued to make internet searches from her hospital bed including, 'Can I get in trouble with the police for taking abortion pills?', and 'Could I go to jail for aborting my child at 30 weeks?' "She says she cannot forgive herself and it will haunt her forever. She has found the last three years extremely difficult."
"You deliberately lied to bring yourself within the telemedical service for early medical abortions. I accept you have a deep emotional attachment to your unborn child and you are plagued by flashbacks, seeing your dead child's face."
