A DEVASTATED mum who watched her two-week-old baby die in her arms wants other families to be spared the same agony.

Claire Joyce lost her son Cain to the life-threatening infection, group B streptococcus (GBS).

She is now battling for all Welsh mums-to-be to have vital tests to detect the condition.

And she has also made a complaint to Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University NHS Trust that no-one picked up on the fact he had the illness at Singleton Hospital until it was too late. The trust has said the matter is under full investigation.

You can speak to Claire about her devastating loss and her subsequent battle when she joins us for a live and interactive webchat this lunchtime, between 1pm and 2pm.
