Investigation after hospital accidentally told mum her unborn baby had died

An investigation has been launched after a mum-to-be was told her unborn baby had died when he had not. Hannah Cole, 26, of Wibsey, has complained after her treatment by medical staff during her pregnancy .

Her waters broke at 20 weeks and she was admitted to Bradford Royal Infirmary on October 9 due to bleeding when her pregnancy was at the 22-week stage. She says she was told by doctors on the following day, October 10, that they could not detect a heartbeat and her unborn baby had died.

She was booked in to be induced at the BRI on the following day, October 11. At this appointment, Miss Cole says her gut feeling was that her unborn son was still alive. This led to her asking for a second scan from hospital staff and here she was told instead that a heartbeat could be found for her baby.
