A mother has revealed how she endured a terrible ordeal after waiting for three hours in casualty with her dead child in her handbag.

Tammy Anderson, 33, went into labour prematurely at her home in Dagenham, Essex, just 15 weeks into her pregnancy.

She suffered a miscarriage and gave birth to the body of son Archie and then phoned midwives, who initially said they would come to see her but eventually asked her to go to Queen's Hospital in Romford.

Ms Anderson said she was made to wait for three hours in A&E while her baby was 'in a cover in her overnight bag'.
