Eds: changes keyword from Missing



BRISBANE, April 3 AAP - The parents of a Queensland woman who went missing after giving
birth to her fifth child will make a public appeal today for information on her disappearance.

Belinda Martin was last seen at 8.20am (AEST) on Saturday at the Bundaberg Base Hospital.

The 30-year-old, from Bundaberg, had given birth to her fifth child two days before.

Police said Ms Martin left the hospital without her newborn child and concerns were
held for her safety and welfare as her disappearance was out of character.

Searches of the local area have so far found nothing.

Ms Martin's parents have travelled from NSW to make a public plea this afternoon.

Ms Martin was described as being of slim build, 160cm tall, with fair skin and brown
shoulder length hair and brown eyes.

She was last seen wearing a green shirt, dark coloured trousers and no shoes.
