Tebussum Ali and her baby died in January
A report by a health watchdog into maternity services at a London hospital following the deaths of two pregnant women will be published later.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) review began in June after the deaths of Tebussum Ali and Violet Stephens at Queen's Hospital in Romford.
Mrs Stephens died in April and Ms Ali and her baby died in January 2011.
The Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust has apologised for failings in their care.
An independent report found in the case of Mrs Stephens, who was admitted with potentially life-threatening pre-eclampsia, there was a failure to give a blood transfusion and a delay in making the decision to deliver the baby.
The report also found that in the case of Ms Ali, who was also known as Sareena, staff had failed to spot signs of her ruptured womb and tried to resuscitate her with a disconnected oxygen mask.
Two midwives were suspended after the deaths.
In September, the trust's chief executive Averil Dongworth said he was "sorry that both Violet Stephens and Sareena Ali did not receive the standard of care they were entitled to expect".
The trust said it had recruited an extra 72 midwives this year and improved staff support and training.
