Woman has healthy baby after being told foetus was dead

A mother who was told her unborn baby was dead has successfully given birth after insisting medics performed a second scan.

Hazel Wiggins, from Prudhoe, Northumberland, had been told her child had died and had returned to hospital to begin taking a series of abortion pills.

But as medics at Hexham General Hospital insisted she took the tablets she demanded they performed another scan.
