Heartbreaking photos show couple cradling their stillborn daughter who died after a midwife told her mother to go home and take paracetamol despite her excruciating pain
Angela Owens, from Warrington, Cheshire, had been rushed into Warrington Hospital after developing severe pains on a shopping trip.
But despite Mrs Owens raising concerns about her unborn baby girl's welfare, a midwife who examined her recommended she be discharged. The mother-of-two refused to leave and was moved to a birthing pool to await labour - only for tests to subsequently reveal the child had no heartbeat. The infant - named Ella - was tragically stillborn, leaving Mrs Owens and partner Paul Humphreys, 31, with a few hours to build memories of the youngster in photos (shown left and right). Today it emerged Mrs Owens had been awarded an undisclosed sum of damages from Warrington Hospital (inset) following the tragedy shortly before Christmas 2013.
