Royal London Hospital told couple they miscarried
Elizabeth Stevens, 36, was told that she had miscarried her babyÂ
Doctors found a couple's unborn baby alive during an operation after the parents were told they had lost their baby in a miscarriage.
Elizabeth Stevens, 36, and her partner Ian Fowler, 54, said they were told by the Royal London Hospital, in Whitechapel, that Ms Stevens had miscarried and needed to book in for surgery to remove the foetus.
After Ms Stevens' same day appointment was postponed due to an emergency, she rang and asked the Queen's Hospital in Romford, Essex, to have her in for surgery instead.
However surgeons at Queen's found that the couple's unborn baby was still alive and had a heartbeat.
They told Ms Stevens that she had choriodecidual haematoma, which is why she was bleeding.
Now the couple, who are from Benfleet in Essex, are demanding answers from the Royal London Hospital.
Speaking to The Sun Online, Mr Fowler said: 'How can they get it so completely wrong?
'They nearly killed my unborn baby. Royal London was about to remove a perfectly healthy baby. I want an explanation.'

Ms Stevens, who is seven weeks pregnant, added: 'I was in shock. It’s a lot to take in, one doctor says it’s not fine, and the other one says it’s fine.'
The couple said they are now filing a complaint against the Royal London Hospital.Â
A spokeswoman for Barts Health NHS Trust said: ‘We sincerely apologise for the distress caused to Ms Stevens and her partner, and are fully looking into their concerns.Â
A spokeswoman for Queen's Hospital confirmed the hospital saw Ms Stevens and are continuing to treat her
'When our investigation is complete we will invite Ms Stevens and her partner to meet with the clinical team to discuss our findings, and explain how we will implement any changes needed.’Â
