A young mum was told by hospital doctors that her unborn baby had died, only to find out he was still alive when she asked for a second scan.
Hannah Cole's waters broke at 20 weeks and she was taken to Bradford Royal Infirmary on October 9 due to bleeding when her pregnancy was at the 22-week stage.
The following day, the 26-year-old was told by doctors that they could not detect a heartbeat and her unborn baby had died, Wales Online reports.
The mum-to-be was booked in to be induced on October 11 but when she attended the appointment, she said her gut feeling was that her unborn son was still alive.
Ms Cole then asked for a second scan and was told that a heartbeat could actually be found for her baby.
The woman, whose pregnancy is now continuing, said the mistake made by doctors at the hospital created "a rollercoaster of emotions" in her.
The hospital launched an investigation following the incident and a Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust spokesman apologised to Miss Cole for the distress caused to her.
The mum-to-be, whose due date is February 9, 2023, said: "It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for me. It was harrowing when I was told, it was life-changing.
"It's been absolutely crazy. I don't know how they got it wrong.
"To be told different things in the space of a week has made my mind boggled. It6's been very stressful. I was happy about the outcome now.
"It was a very emotional couple of days. It was just a relief when I was told that everything was fine."
She added: "I knew deep down that he was still there because I could still feel movements. I was absolutely devastated when they told me at first."
Ms Cole described her baby as "a little fighter" and said he is healthy.
She said she feels "a bit on edge" about giving birth at the hospital, but since her waters broke and her pregnancy is classed as high risk, she cannot travel to go to a different clinic.
Director of Midwifery at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Sara Hollins, said: "On behalf of the Trust, I would like to offer my sincere apologies for the distress and anxiety caused to Ms Cole regarding the treatment and care received during her current pregnancy.
"Ms Cole is fully aware that an investigation is in progress. Our priority is ensuring that Ms Cole and her unborn baby receive the appropriate clinical care for the remainder of her pregnancy."
