New mother finds live snail in dinner at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital | Aberdeen City News | STV Local

A new mother discovered a live garden snail in her food after giving birth at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital.

Angelica Crawford, a 20-year-old model and musician, recently gave birth to her baby daughter Aimee on November 29, 2012 in the Ashgrove Ward at the hospital.

After her daughter was born with complications she was forced to spend around two weeks in neo-natal care at the hospital.

Ms Crawford said: “My baby was in neonatal care for just under two weeks and I was upset, as all the other mums were cooing over their babies and I couldn’t do that. She was on a drip and kept being sick and I was really worried about her."

As a result, the new mother had not been eating properly for days when the chicken dinner was offered.

She told STV News: "I hadn’t been eating well as I was worried about the baby, so when they brought through the chicken dinner I thought ‘That sounds nice’ and decided to have it."
