Stacy Dow, 20 is suing a hospital in Perth, Scotland where she had an abortion in 2001 after one of her twins survived the operation. Dow, who is raising her now three-year-old daughter Jayde with her parents, said late on Sunday she is seeking 250,000 UK money to cover the costs of raising the child. Dow was 16 when she learned in early 2001 that she was pregnant and immediately decided to have an abortion.
Miss Dow, 20, said that after the termination she was advised it had been successful. She was then given a contraceptive injection, which she was told could lead to weight gain and an erratic menstrual cycle. She put the continuing symptoms of pregnancy down to this injection.

"I have got a child now that I wasn't planning to have and I believe the hospital should take some responsibility for that," she said.
She said the hospital where she had her operation had failed "to take reasonable care to establish that the termination had been successful."
"I still don't know if, or what, I am going to tell Jayde when the time comes," she added. "Maybe when she is nine or 10 I will sit her down and explain it to her. I just hope that she understands what happened and why I did it. Of course it will be much harder to explain to her that she had a twin."
