A heartbroken mother has claimed her baby girl was stillborn and she nearly died after staff at a London quarantine hotel refused to take her to hospital. 

Amna Bibi, 31, was 34 weeks pregnant with her daughter Hafsa when she arrived at London's O2 Intercontinental hotel in Greenwich.

She flew to the UK from Pakistan with her husband and other family members on June 10, meaning they would have to quarantine at a special hotel facility for 10 days, according to Government red-list rules. 

Pregnant women are advised not to travel after 36 weeks of pregnancy, but some airlines require a letter from a GP after week 28 to confirm the due date and that the woman is not at any risk of complications. 

Mrs Bibi, from Bradford, said she was suffering with swelling, pain and breathlessness throughout her stay at the hotel, going backwards and forwards to hospital for check-ups. It is not known why she took the risky decision to fly to the UK while heavily pregnant.

But paramedics, employed by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), stopped her from attending hospital for a vital ultrasound scan, and later after a fall in her hotel room, because she had already been too many times.

She told YorkshireLive the 'trauma and tragedy' of losing her baby on Friday, June 18, and spending four days in intensive care, would haunt her for the rest of her life.

Mrs Bibi has called on the Government to clarify the quarantine rules to allow people access to hospital when necessary.

She added: 'I want government guidelines for every patient, not only pregnant women, to make it better for them. If God gave me another life it would be fighting for other women not to be in my place.' 

Mrs Bibi had an ultrasound scan booked for the morning of Tuesday, June 15 at 9am but she says the paramedic at the hotel refused to allow her to attend because they claimed she was only allowed to travel to hospital once under the rules and had already been twice.

To ease her swelling, Ms Bibi ran a bath but slipped twice and hurt herself to the point she 'could barely walk'. 

She said the hotel paramedic assessed her but said she could not go to hospital and offered her painkillers instead.

On Friday morning she began to feel painful contractions and was sweating
