Pregnant Deborah, 38, spent three weeks in hospital before surgeons delivered her baby six weeks before he was due.

Two days later she fell and broke her ankle in the hospital car park after she was allowed to go home.

After spending another week on the ward she was discharged only to fall down the stairs at home and break her other leg.

Deborah is now stuck on the wards she works on in a wheelchair with both legs in plaster nursing her little boy.

She said: "Everyone thinks it's hilarious. They say I must be the unluckiest woman in Britain."

Diabetic Deborah was rushed into Sunderland Royal Hospital on July 22 after she developed the pregnancy condition pre-eclampsia.

Three weeks later doctors were forced to deliver her baby six weeks early after her blood pressure rose to dangerously high levels.

Baby Jonathan was born weighing 4lb 12oz and had to be placed in an incubator.

Two days later Deborah was allowed to go home with husband Sener, 43, a factory worker.

But when the couple returned to the hospital hours later, Deborah stumbled and broke her left ankle.

She had to go under the surgeons knife for an hour to have plates and screws put in her ankle.

Allowed home after a week she stumbled and smashed her other leg.

She explained: "I live just a few minutes walk from the hospital and the nurses came rushing down and an ambulance took me back in again."

X-rays revealed she had broken bother her tibia and fibula at the bottom her right leg.

Deborah said: "The nurse must have thought it was hilarious when they saw me being wheeled in again." Deborah is now expected to be in hospital for another couple of days. And doctors have told her to try to stay out of trouble.
