The QEH, where ceilings are held up by thousands of props, was recently named the worst-performing hospital in the country.
It is the only trust in the East of England to be included in the rapid review of maternity care, which was announced by the government to examine what it described as “failures in the system”.
The BBC has asked the trust to confirm its perinatal mortality rate.
It was rated as “good” for maternity services by healthcare inspectors the Care Quality Commission in March 2024.
Ms Dwyer said she and other hospital leaders had met with Baroness Amos, the chairwoman of the maternity review.
“I think we were a little bit surprised we were included and in some ways, a little bit disappointed,” she said.
“I don’t want this to further erode the confidence in the hospital by either our community or the sense of the staff themselves and the work that they do.”
However, she added they needed to better monitor stillbirth rates and ensure women flagged as needing a higher level of care were “transferred [to the Norfolk and Norwich] as soon as possible”.
